Weird gap between image and div element (CSS)

I often encounter an issue with divs and images not nesting flush against each other due to spaces. It's a minor problem, but it can be frustrating.

Currently, I'm struggling with the following code. The second div (class Shadow2) contains an image followed by a text-containing div with a black background caption. Ideally, visitors should see only the image above a black box with white text. However, there seems to be a default background color of Shadow2 visible between the image and the caption div.

<div class="Cool R P Max300">
  <div class="Shadow2">
    <img src="">
    <div class="Caption Black">Text</div>
  </div>
</div>

I tried adjusting the styles to set all images' border and padding to 0 and set div.Caption's top margin to 0, but it didn't solve the issue.

One workaround could be applying relative position to the image and moving it down a few pixels, but this feels like a temporary fix for a common bug. Can anyone help me understand what's causing this? Thank you.

Answer №1

It's possible that there is some extra white space causing the line break here. Simply changing the image to display: block; should fix the problem. Also, make sure to properly close your img tag (<img src="" alt="" />), although this issue isn't related to the white space.

You can check out an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/fkfF7/

Another solution, albeit a bit of a hack, is to add font-size: 0; to the parent div. Then you'll need to specify the font size for your caption div separately.

Here's an example of that workaround: http://jsfiddle.net/fkfF7/1/
