line-height inconsistency IE vs firefox??

Hey everyone,

I've run into another cross-browser inconsistency (ugh) and I can't figure out a workaround for it.

I have specific amount of vertical space alloted for a text area of my site. I don't know which browser is giving me a problem, but in IE there is more vertical space in-between each line of text, which is making this area a fair amount longer in IE as compared to firefox (where there is less space between each line).

I tried setting the "line-height" property for the CSS rule. But the the browsers are calculating these line heights in their own way.

There must be a workaround for this, I just can't figure it out or find anything on it!

Help, anybody?

Thanks!

Did you set the line height in terms of percentages? I haven't attempted it myself (no reason to IMHO), but I usually find in general terms that percentages work nicely in CSS between IE and FF.
