But your padding is applied. Only, it doesn't have the effect you expect. have a look at a more radical testcase (and resize window for fun): <http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/span-padding.html> Padding on inline non-replaced elements does not affect the surrounding line-box. The spans will cover the text below/above in the same block. As for margins: vertical margins on non-replaced inline elements (like span) have no effects. <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#margin-properties> Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh <http://emps.l-c-n.com> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
