I have empty space div that goes like this:
and the CSS for this is:
This should just make an empty box. And its fine in firefox. But in IE I get no space at all! Whats wrong?
<div id="space"><!-- IE fix--></div>
and the CSS for this is:
#space{font-size:0;
background-color:transparent;
height:15px;
display:block;
}This should just make an empty box. And its fine in firefox. But in IE I get no space at all! Whats wrong?

IE does not render "wasted" tags (tags without actual content).
Stick a br tag inside it.

Theres no reason to have an empty space div, just add a margin to the surrounding div

I am leaning toward cmills on this one. Why do you need an empty div?
If it is a must, you could also try throwing a transparent "spacer" gif in there.

I was going to agree with you, then I found this DIV tag in my own code which I forgot I used to adjust the position of the content below it. (It seemed to be the simplest solution at the time)
<div style="height: 37px;"> </div>
Like I had mentioned before, works just fine.
