The only problem is that the > height of objects themselves are usually defined relative to the canvas... Actually, I suggested a line height in pixels, to conform with the pixel measure of bitmaps. As for your markup producing a 3 point drop, I don't think so, as you haven't specified line-height as '12pt'. 'px' is pixel measure, but I wonder how UAs are supposed to treat values without units. I assumed pixels, since that's default in HTML. > <P>This is an inline equation: > <IMG STYLE="height: 120px; width: 300px; vertical-align: -45px" > SRC="equation.gif"> > </P> Yes, this is much cleaner. Replaced elements have no baseline by default. Can they be given one? <P>This is an inline equation: <IMG STYLE="font-size: 100%; height: 4em; width: 10em; vertical-align: -5%" SRC="equation.gif"> </P> If so, the above would produce a graphic that is both sized and vertically-aligned relative to the parent's font.
