Let's back track to your list message. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0014.html Which has a table attached where you have highlighted rows in pink. You say. "I also highlighted rows that show differences between the spec and current implementations." I would like to look into these differences between the spec and current implementations but I keep on seeing some zeros for one implementation. For unordered list you have the property for margin. | App. D | IE7 | FF2 | FF3 | Op | Saf | Final -------------------------------------------------------------------- |1.12em 0 | 0 0 0 30pt | 16px 0 | 16px 0 | 16px 0 | 16px 0 | 1em 0 If only one element UL appears inside the BODY element then the above values in the table is true but the reason that IE7 shows the top and bottom margin as zero is that in IE7, the BODY element is hasLayout=true by default. The same allies for Ordered List. If the UL or OL was inside a DIV with either a border or padding and hasLayout=false then the values for IE7 would be. | IE7 | -------------------- | 19px 0 19px 30pt | This is the point I drawing your at attention too. As Philippe has said [1]. "According to the Dom toolbar the values are 'auto', and margin-left:30pt." For IE7 the vertical margins with auto for unordered list is approximately 19px. The same applies for the margin-top of the H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, P elements which I have mentioned [2]. The margin-top will disappear in hasLayout=true containers. It would be of great benefit to see the UA style sheet defaults values for IE8 in the table instead of focusing on IE7. The only benefit I can see for keeping IE7 in the table is for authors alone. I will work on an updated table and upload it soon. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0017.html [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008May/0024.html Alan
