When using HTML5, if you place a canvas / video / audio / svg

  • 0

When using HTML5, if you place a canvas/video/audio/svg element in a div, there will be a 4px gap below these elements. I tested the code below in almost all browsers which support HTML5, unfortunately they all have the same problem. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Bug</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid blue">
<canvas width="200" height="100" style="border: 1px solid yellow"></canvas>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    It’s because they are inline elements with resizable height (most inline elements are not explicitly resizable). If you set them to display: block; the gap goes away. You can also set vertical-align: top; to achieve the same result.

    Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/F2LAK/

    HTML: 

    <div class="container">
    <canvas width="200" height="100"></canvas>
</div>
<div class="container">
    <canvas id="block" width="200" height="100"></canvas>
</div>

    CSS:

    .container {
    border: 1px solid blue;
}

canvas {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

#block {
    display: block;
}

    Output:
