A Newbie Margin ? - 7/23/2008 7:58:09
I'm in the process of building my second tableless website. I am creating a basic header, 3 column, footer layout. I want a 1% margin around my header. The following works fine in IE7 but there is no top margin in FF. Would someone give me or point me to the problem of this dilemma? Here is my header css.
#outerWrapper #header {
background-color: #99cc99;
margin: 1% 1% 1% 1%;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
font-weight: bold;
border-bottom: solid 1px #627850

Sounds like a border collapse issue. If you have margins on different divs touching each other they'll collapse in Mozilla (and opera?) browsers. This is to prevent double margins (e.g. on a paragraph with top and bottom margins in theory there'd be double margin between paragraphs which isn't what you actually want - you'd actually want only one margin-depth between paragraphs).
I knew you would solve the mystery for me. My hair is getting thinner every day. Thanks for your help Tailside.
