'Collapsing margins'[1] - which Mozilla handles according to relevant CSS standard, while IE messes it up with its 'hasLayout'[2] bug. You can add... #outer_holder_top {overflow: hidden;} ...or... #outer_holder_top {display: table;} That will make Mozilla, and all other standard compliant browsers, contain that margin as you want. regards Georg [1]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins [2]http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
