If your h1 element is set to 1.4em and that (through math) equates to 14px... and your p element is set to 1em and that equates to 10px, then 1em margin (top, bottom or whatever) will equal 14px for the heading and 10px for the paragraph. Remember, it's the font-size of each element that determines what 1em equals... use px instead if you must have the same space exactly beneath both elements... otherwise, the math could get ugly. On the other hand, using em allows the spacing to be proportional to the font-size of the element, so I wouldn't worry about it, but do what Zoe said, and make a "proportional" adjustments for your heading and paragraph margins. And don't forget that vertically adjacent margin collapse can intervene to make things appear unexpectedly different from what you planned (vertically adjacent margins collapse to the larger of the two values, even with nested elements, if no border or content appears between them) Donna Casey ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
