Browser Specific Problems: margin misunderstanding (or why I hate IE)

    So I have a layout which has a container within a container. Inside the inner contain are my header, content and footer elements. I've ensured that the margin and padding properties are 0 for all the divs. Yet for some reason IE decides there's around 20px between the top of my page and everything else!

    IE will not accept a height less than the font-size of the element so ignores #topStrip {height:2px} .

    Try adding #topStrip { font-size:0;} to the CSS it should sort out the problem.
