Eh.. not quite :-)
Now the margin-collapsing is in action in Opera :-)
Adding a border to the inner div solves that.
Another thing: you have not hidden the height for the inner div from
other browsers than WinIE. In this particular case it doesn't matter,
but in many other instances it's important that other browsers won't
honour the 1% or 1px height.
You can hide it by adding an underscore to it, like so:
_height:1%; /* the validator doesn't like this hack,
but it is valid CSS2.1 */
or with this hack:
/* hiding from IE Mac \*/
* html .wrapperInside{
height:1%;
}
/* end hide from IE Mac */

I meant when it was the only div. When you take out the inner div from
the HTML, the outer div collapses just the same in IE.
This effect only happens with the div that's the direct parent of a
table. If you'd substitute the table for a div (with the same margin
and border properties), the parent div would not collapse in the
absence of width and height.
Now, why exactly this difference between the parent of a div and the
parent of a table, I don't know :-)
