I found that by using both of the above commands, I was able to fix this issue in both IE and Firefox. Here is the final code:
body .page_head .pagetitle_wrap {margin: 10px auto;}
div.page_head.hide_mob_headerimg {
min-height:60px ;}
Actually, that appears to fix the issue in Firefox. But, In IE, it vertically centers the text within the number of pixels specified, but still adds a huge gray bar at the bottom.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to make any difference. I tried 120px and 60px and it didn’t change at all.
