I bet it's the css reset. There's some funky business with the line-height on the body tag. Did you try it without that css reset and see if it gets better results?

So I have been trying to figure out this issue for a few days now. Forgive me if it's something super simple that I am missing. I have a super-simple XHTML 1.0 transitional page (that validates), using Eric Meyer's CSS reset, and loading the latest jQuery from Google's site. Then I have two simple divs inside a container div (nothing floated) and above the container I have a div with a paragraph in it that gets appended with the height of each of the two divs upon document load. The thing is I am getting wildly different numbers in different browsers. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about: http://chief.fishbucket.com/jquery/heightissue.jpg And you can check out the actual page/code here: http://chief.fishbucket.com/jquery/ So is this a jQuery bug, or a CSS/browser issue? Thanks for any help on this - it's been driving me insane. -chief
