It'd also be much cleaner mark-up: the 2nd div would be strictly a style thing, whereas the markup should be only the structure of the page. 2) The reason you have issues with the height is the line-height attrribute. By default, the line-height is calculated based on your font size. So, you sepcify the div to be 2px tall, and the browser also adds the logical space for text to appear given the line-height. If you set the line-height to 0, it should sove the issue. 3) Please use the method in number 1 to fix this problem. Number 2 explains why, but won't fix the inherent problem of using markup to solve stylistic issues and will only continue to cause problems of various kinds. 4) get rid of the 'transitional' doctype. strict is, IMO, the only way to go.
