When I was learning CSS, in the beginning, it was always impressed upon me that using "margin:0" was appropriate because it would cover all sides. Using "margin:2px 3px;" was appropriate, because you'd be covering left/right and top/bottom. Using "margin:2px 3px 4px 5px" was correct, because it gave each individual side something to work from. But using "margin:1px 2px 3px" was incorrect. I can't recall exactly *why*, but I always had the impression that it was because it was (pardon the term I'm gonna use) half-assed. If I'm wrong, I'd *love* to know, because it's always been my impression that using 3 numbers is never the way to do it. Like I said, I don't recall *where* I picked this up, or why it's wrong to use this method - it's been so long ago - but I'm always open to being corrected :) ~Shelly ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
