Hi,

I'm stumped by an extra three pixels of padding that are appearing at  
the bottom of images I enclose in divs. I've reduced it to a test  
case. Message continues below. (I've only been able to check in  
Firefox, Camino, Safari and IE/Mac, as I do not have access to a  
Windows PC.)

     padding: 0;
     background-color: gray;
     }
img {
     padding: 0px;
     margin: 0px;
     }
#wrapper {
     padding: 0px;
     margin: 0px;
     background-color: yellow;
     border: 5px solid blue;
     width: 200px;
     }
   </style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper"><img src="http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/9860/ 
test2be.jpg"></div>
</body>
</html>

The image is just a cream 200x200 square. Note the three pixels of  
extra space, which are presumably yellow padding picked up from  
#wrapper. This extra padding does not appear (i.e. I get the desired  
and expected behavior) if I get rid of the wrapper div and apply the  
rules directly to the image. Again, message continues below.

I would be very grateful if someone could explain this to me. Thanks  
in advance,
