I misworded that. I think you did not provide the reason actually.
The reason is an incorrect implementation (a bug, if you prefer) of
adjoining margin collapsing in IE 5, IE 6, IE 7.
There is no buggy implementation in Firefox 1, Firefox 2, Firefox 3,
Opera 9, Safari 3, Internet Explorer 8, Hv3 TKHTML, Icab 3+, etc..


I agree that IE is the buggy culprit here.

You did not mention that.

The fact that IE does not
collapse margins properly

You did not provide the correct reason.

only complicated the OPs problem in that he
expected rendering as per IE and was therefore surprised that Firefox
rendered with a gap. He wondered why this was so and his attempts to
remove the gap all failed. He desired no gap. There are several
solutions possible to removing the gap in conforming browsers (Firefox
here) and one was proposed.

I correctly answered the OPs query by informing him that the gap on his
page as rendered by conforming browsers (Firefox here) is because of
"Collapsing Margins".

Additionally I provided a small tool

and it was a bad tool, a bad way, a bad detection method.
