How do I remove the vertical padding in a div table-cell?












9















Take this web example into account (it seems to have the same issue) I have the following CSS on my website (note the space between the #head and #body <div>'s):



#body {
display: table;
border-spacing: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

#body-row {
display: table-row;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

.column-left, .column, .column-right {
display: table-cell;
padding: 0px;
border: dotted 2px #89E;
}

.column-left, .column-right {
width: 190px;
font-size: .95em;
}


However, this still adds a space between the very top and bottom of the table-cell. Padding and margin do no seem to do anything for this. Advice?

          • Duh-of course! I was wondering about that earlier if that would be needed, but it never made itself apparent (until now). Thanks! That's the answer.
