Hmm. the plot thickens. In mozilla's forms.css is where it all happens: button::-moz-focus-inner, input[type="reset"]::-moz-focus-inner, input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner, input[type="submit"]::-moz-focus-inner, input[type="file"] > input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner { padding: 0px 2px

does anyone know a trick to get rid of the minimum padding that FF applies to button elements? I'm putting background image on a span inside a button and its applying 3px left/right padding around the contents, even if I set padding: 0. Also tried -moz-padding-start: 0; -moz-padding-end: 0; to no e

As you say there's all kinds of nested table fun going on there. And AFAICT you've just got your div in the wrong td. Back out a level or two and look at the rows - there's 2 rows to the table, one for the top, one for the bottom. You need to inject your div into the bottom row, first td. There may

I tend to treat button rows (I call them button trays) like any other list of links, and use floats, with markup something like this: Button Label the UL has margins, padding, list-style-type reset, .buttonTray li has float: left, .end has clear: both. between .buttonContainer and .som

This is so simple I must be missing something. But I have this div, that I want to give a minimum height of 1px. It may or may not get any content in it, and I want it to collapse up if its empty. IE 6 doesnt of course support min-height, so for now I'm using height: 1px. But even this simple case

Well, I for one have several more years experience making layouts that way than with CSS. They also tend to be more forgiving - of overwidth content for example. I also think table-ing up a (non-trivial) layout can be a more intiutive process than doing the same in CSS. Wrapping your head around fl

I think the pros and cons of Smarty go beyond the scope of this list, no matter how you frame it. That said, from a CSS designer's experience / point of view I like the model. It makes logical sense. >From the PHP developers point of view, I find it ultimately redundant - php is already a hypertext
