Re: [css-d] help with margin-top IE versus FF

I solved it by applying float:left to the bottom div.  Not sure why it
fixed it, but I'm not going to argue with it!

Is the problem resolved in Firefox/3.0.3; and if not, could you provide 
a clickable link to the page/problem in question?

Educated guess: you experienced a collapsing margins case...

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins

...which 'float: left/right' on the right element fixes.

IE/win was probably already saved by its 'hasLayout' bug.

[css-d] help with margin-top IE versus FF

2008-11-10 Thread Angela French
I have two divs that sit on top of each other (in the html). I have
applied a margin-top to the bottom div to provide space between the 2
divs.

IE7 renders the margin-top, but FF2 won't.  I have tried !important;
but cannot get some space between them. 

 

Can anyone suggest what I might need to look at or try?

 

Thank you
