Website designing problem-- browser differences?

Im making a website in frontpage (yeah I know, it should already set off alarms, but I dont think this is whats creating the problem, as the code is the same)

I have the pages set to single spacing, easy code:
<body style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 100%" bgcolor="#0066CC" text="#FFFFFF">

the lines, however, are completely different when you look at it in IE vs. Firefox, this didnt happen with other sites i made using frontpage, does anyone know whats going on?

the line spacing looks exactly the same in frontpage and IE (not a surprise), but FF the spacing is closer, yet it looks a lot more like line-height: 100%

Hrm..maybe Firefox doesn't recognize that attribute of the <BODY> tag. You can try making that value a pixel height instead of a percentage. Might work.

Ex.

Instead of line-height: 100%, try line-height: 10px

You'll have to play with it.

my question is, why are you using line-height to begin with.

it could be

<body style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; line-height: 100% " bgcolor="#0066CC" text="#FFFFFF">

the orphaned " .... ( sry its not orphaned ... but i would try removing the extra space and any other extra spaces near your " ".).

yeah the space was an accident in my post, there is no extra space there in the code, i guess when i made it bold i dropped one in there
