When html, body marginTop = 0, the first <p> in IE starts on line one but in Firefox in line two. Could someone explain this to me? Does someone have a way to redefine in Firefox NOT to start it on line two?

<head>

.....
<title>BLAH BLAH BLAH</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<body>
<p>This is on line ONE in IE but line TWO in Firefox</p>
</body>
.....

However, if you put any text in front, they both behave the same:

.....
<body>
Example 1 of a Responsive Interaction (one-on-one)
<p>This is okay. (It's on line THREE in both IE and Firefox.)</p>
</body>
.....

TIA,
Joel

I try a range of
 

</br>

and </p>

for spacing.

I don't know if thats frowned upon but I have made both browsers display very similarly with one css reference

You've got two <body> tags in your first example. Maybe that's it.

Also, I usually explicitly define my paragraphs:

Code:

p {
     margin: 0 0 1em 0;
     padding: 0;
}

This will make paragraphs appear the same across the board.
