Re: [WSG] Shouldn't margin be working

[Michael Horowitz]

I guess my boxes are wrong.  What you have is what I am looking for.  
What I thought I was doing was setting up a

#menu box adjacent to a #content box adjacent to a #right_box.  All 
parallel.  It appears the content box is actually going out to the 
entire size of the site while #menu box and #right_box are in it. 

What am I misunderstanding about setting up the box model correctly.  (I 
don't want to just steal your code but understand how to do it right for 
the future)

I've added some margin and padding to the #content div

   clear: none;
   float: none;
}

But it doesn't appear to have an affect.  I've verified it validates 
as CSS





Assuming the above is in reference to your uri

Your  CSS is doing as you have asked. Put a border around #content and 
you will see it.

It is not exactly clear to me what you are after. But my guess is 
you're looking for something that looks more like this?:
