Div heights in containers/Firefox - 1/8/2007 15:48:13   
Ugh...this is one of those little CSS things that bug the c&^p out of me but I can never seem to resolve. For some reason, the code below results in a .centerOn section that is slightly taller then the left and right sections (in Firefox only, IE renders it OK - I know, I know, IE is probably doing it wrong). Anyone have any thoughts on how I can force all three heights to be the same?

I'm using this design to draw flexible width tabs on a page where the left and right div sections hold a no-repeated picture, while the middle section holds a picture where that is x-repeated.



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Tab Tester</title>
<style type="text/css">

.leftOn
{
	background-image: url(img/cssPics/tabOn_1_left.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: left top;
	width: 6px;
	height: 25px;
	background-color: #909090;
	float: left;
}

.centerOn {
background-image: url('img/cssPics/tabOn_1_center.gif');
background-repeat: repeat-x; 
background-position: center top;
text-align: center;
height: 25px;
background-color: #909090;
float: left;
padding-top: 4px;


}

.centerOn a {
color: #000000;
}

.rightOn {
background-image: url('img/cssPics/tabOn_1_right.gif'); 
background-repeat: no-repeat; 
background-position: right top;
width: 7px;
height: 25px;
background-color: #909090;
float: left;

}




</style>
</head>

<body>
    <div style="height: 25px;">
        <div class="leftOn"></div>
        <div class="centerOn">sometext</div>
        <div class="rightOn"></div>
    </div>


</body>
</html>


I've simplified the css a bit to remove all reference to pictures and it still behaves oddly:
.leftOn
{
    width: 6px;
	height: 25px;
	float: left;
    border: solid 1px blue;
}

.centerOn {
    text-align: center;
    height: 25px;
    float: left;
    padding-top: 4px;
    border: solid 1px blue;
}


.rightOn {
    width: 7px;
    height: 25px;
    float: left;
    border: solid 1px blue;
}

Ain't 'notin better 'n answerin' your own question. The issue was with the Center div style. Having the padding set to 4px was bumping everything down by 4 px for that div. Got rid of that and everything looks dandy.
