Getting rid of table padding using css

[joelwenzel]

I'm having a problem removing the padding from a table in Internet Explorer. In netscape, there is no space between the span and the border or the table but in IE there is a space of about 1px between the border and the span.

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
TD{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
SPAN{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
border:1px solid black;
}
</style>

...

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=1>
<tr><td>
<span>stuff</span>
</td></tr>
</table>

There is a space of about 1px between the top border pf the span tag and the table. The side and bottom borders of the span are right on the border of the table.

I've change some things and have learned that the problem comes when I set the font-size less than 12pt. Anyone know a work around?

Hi,

Just a thought, have you tried something different to useing PX, like other units?
