You're probably experiencing the standard behavior of 'Collapsing
margins'...
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins>
...where the top and/or bottom margin on some element inside your
div-construction, maybe defaults on a paragraph, is escaping its
container(s).
A number of properties: values will prevent such an escape. The
mentioned 'border: (some width)' is one of them and 'position: absolute'
is another.
