Question

We have a richfaces table (rich-table style class) and we would like to have some space on top of the table. We tried using margin-top on the above style class with values in px and in %age. But the resultant behavior was different in both the browsers. FF produces more space compared to Chrome. How do we get around this issue and be browser agnostic?

Answer 1

You may want to consider using a reset stylesheet.

A reset stylesheet will reduce browser inconsistencies like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings.
