Hello all,
I asked this question on a few boards but no one knew answer so i was hoping
for better luck here.

i am a bit stumped by the ALA article on custom borders:
http://alistapart.com/articles/customcorners

In 'Step 3', these gaps show up and i have no clue why.

In it they say "The gaps are caused by the carriage returns inserted by our
paragraph (block) elements. We could avoid using paragraph elements
altogether and thereby bypass the problem, but..."

what carriage returns (the default top margin from 1st paragraph?)?
i thought if all margins and padding are set to zero with block elements
that follow each other that nothing else is needed?

After playing around and seting all margins/padding to 0, my best guess is
it seems the line-height is what is messing this up, but the line-height
only affects only content area right? it seems the line-height is somehow
creating margins so the background image doesnt repeat alongside this area.
However this seems like a bad thing to assume.
any explanation would be helpful.
