Actually, it's been my experience that using transparent makes no difference
to the layout problems. For me, I've always had to define a border colour -
obviously the same as the background colour - in order for this 'hack' to
work.

Hi,
In the following css snippet each attempt at giving div#header a
margin-top of 7.5em from the container; results in the container div
moving an additional 7.5em from the top of the viewport, what am I
missing? Is this the margin collapsing gremlin at work?
style type=text/css
Haven't looked closely but have you tried adding a border to the following
rule set to see if it is actually working, just not showing properly:
div#container
{
margin: 10px auto;
width: 600px;
height: 700px;
text-align: left;
background: #5A6995
The red border will highlight the div#container and possibly show that the
margin is working on div#header
I forgot to add that if this is the case, you are seeing margin trapping at
work. Previously discussed on-list:

There are a few ways around it. That is one (although it should be 7.5em?).
Another is to add a 1px border of the same colour as the container - depends
on your need.

I don't know how hacky it is as a hack, but

Or even
border:1px solid transparent;

Hi,
I was hoping this one would work, as I gave it a try also.
