hi,
below is some html that i ran thru gecko.
i'm also attaching a jpeg that is the screen shot of this html rendered by
gecko.
now for the question: why is the background decoration affected only by the
base line height and not by the content?? intuitively (to me!) i would
expect the yellow box to
1. surround all the text and the image; OR
2. surround all the text, but not replaced elements.
instead, it seems to me to surround only the line-height size.
i can accept this (if i have to) as the expected behaviour as long as i know
where exactly in the spec it gives me this info.
btw, i have access to the addison-wesley book by lie and bos, and i actually
read it from cover to cover; i still don't understand this scenario. :(
all assisstance would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
-ranjit
