hi all

can someone explaing why the text ("this menu text wont show on mozilla")
shows correctly in IE for the following code, but in mozilla
(netscape/firefox etc.) the text is printing a few pixels down so you can
only see half of it?!
its my first foray into the world of CSS and this seems like the most
straightforward thing you can do! and it doesnt work!
style1 is simply bold, white text.i want a thin black bar in a layer, with
white text on it.

<div id="headermenubar" style="position:absolute; width:592px; height:20px;
z-index:5; left: 158px; top: 95px; layer-background-color: #000000; border:
0px none #000000; background-color: #000000;">
  <p class="style1">this menu text wont show on mozilla</p>
</div>

thanks
