Firefox renders differently from Safari
I have a little html code that produces two similar paragraphs. The only structural difference in the two paragraphs is
a line-end appears in the second paragraph between the two /font tags.
I expected the line-end to be treated as white space and ignored. It is ignored in Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5), but it is not ignored in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12).
When rendered in Firefox, the second line in the second paragraph appears just a little bit lower below its first line than in the first paragraph.
Here's the html (How can I get it not to render?):
<html> <head> </head> <body> <p><font face="Arial">This is the 1st line in the 1st paragraph.<br /> <font size="2">This line is just below it.</font></font></p> <p><font face="Arial">This is the 1st line in the 2nd paragraph.<br /> <font size="2">This line renders lower in Firefox.</font> </font></p> </body> </html>
