White space issue with display:none

**stylegrl** · Sep 19, 2007, 10:28

I'm using display:none to hide a div, but I see white space where the div would be in both Firefox and Safari (haven't tested on any other browsers). I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's my code:

Styles:

Code:

.whiteRow {
	width:335px;
	padding: 8px 12px 8px 0px;
}
.blurb {
	font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	font-size:11px;
	color:#333333;
	display:none;
}

HTML:

Code:

<div class="whiteRow">
       <a href="#">Title goes here</a>
        <div class="blurb">
         	Blurb goes here
        </div>
 </div>

That's just a piece of my code. Here's some more context:

Code:

<style>
#contentWrapper {
	padding: 8px 12px 0px 8px;
	border-style: none solid solid solid;
	border-color:#333333;
	border-width:1px;
	clear:both;
}
.whiteRow {
	width:335px;
	padding: 8px 12px 8px 0px;
}
.greyRow {
	width:335px;
	padding: 8px 12px 8px 0px;
	background-color:#f4f4f4;
}
.blurb {
	font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	font-size:11px;
	color:#333333;
	display:none;
}
.shareIcon {
	float:right;
	padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;
	background-image:url(../images/share_icon.gif);
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	width:13px;
	height:13px;
	vertical-align:top;
}
</style>

<div id="contentWrapper">
    
    	<div class="whiteRow">
        	<a href="#">Title goes here</a>
            <div class="blurb">
            	Blurb goes here
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="shareIcon">
        </div>
        
        
        <div class="clearDiv">
        
        <div class="greyRow">
        	<a href="#">Title goes here</a>
            <div class="blurb">
            	Blurb goes here
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="shareIcon">
        </div>
</div>

That doesn't seem to fix it. Any suggestions? Is there something I'm doing that will break the display:none?
