css rendering differences

I'm having some problems with css rendering differently on different
browsers, on this page:

http://www.frostjedi.com/terra/scripts/graemlin.php

on both Opera and Firefox, I get spaces between the word "Suggestion",
and the actual suggestions, themselves.

On Firefox, I get an additional space after the copyright line.

On Opera, the suggestions aren't centered as they are in both IE and
Firefox.

Any ideas as to how I can fix these problems? For the problems with
the spaces, I've tried setting both margin to 0px and padding to 0px,
but that seems to have had no effect.

Which version of Opera? I can't see any problems with Opera 7.23. (It
really isn't worth worrying about slight differences in layout between
browsers, as long as those differences don't cause a real problem.)

At least not in the direction you seem to have problems. I do have a
problem with the tiny low-contrast text - I have to zoom to about 130%
to make it legible.

I'm using Opera 7.23. Anyway, its not a problem, persay, but rather,
a difference in the way the pages are being displayed between IE and
Opera. I'd prefer the page to display in Opera the same way as it
does in IE.

As for the other problem you mentioned - the one with the font sizes -
I suspect, after looking at the page in your sig, that it may have to
do with the fact that I'm using Verdana. I may explore other
possibilities later (I don't like the way my page looks with Arial, so
I'd need to try some other sans-serif font), but in the interim, it'd
be nice to get the page displaying in a uniform way, heh.
