Re: when using validator is not sensible

Oops, thanks! Using both padding and margin resolves the problem in this case.

But... still another example. Netscape 6 and the latest Mozilla appear to be sensitve to
XHTML DTD line. If they see that line, they show thick black horizontal lines on my
pages on cactus-books.com. I have to use PHP to determine if the user agent is
Netscape 6, and to comment out the DTD in this case. Then the horizontal black lines
appear correctly, 1 pixel height.

The validator does not have "Netscape 6" in user agent description and sees the
page with DTD in place. That's why my pages validate. But users with Netscape 6
see the page without DTD which is not a good thing.

That's because you have to use padding: 0; in Opera (this is arguably more correct).
