I have been approached over a page that has a horizontal menubar
displaying over a banner. The problem advised that the menubar is not
displayed and the banner moves up to the position the menubar would
otherwise occupy. I don't see this in my version of Foxfire but I do
see it in my Opera browser.
A reduced demo is at http://www.boclair.com/margin-test/
I would think this is a collapsing margin problem. Declaring a nominal
height on the div containing the menubar appears to solve the problem on
my Opera.
Using the zoom property in lieu of height did not adjust the display in
Opera.
I could do with advise on this.

Rather than the height property, I have now used the padding property to
stop margins collapsing.

I agree with your conclusion, -a collapsing margin problem. (Btw,
excellent demo/display of problem!) What I think happens/matches spec is
that the bottom margin of div.menu collapses into the top margin without
the padding or height declaration because all of the content is floated.
Whether the top-margin of the div below collapses, also, I dunno, but it
should be easy enough to tell from the dimensions.

Of course. I should have seen that.
The containing div doesn't have anything to give it in-flow content.
The links are all floated. Any in-flow content for the div containing
the menubar would do, padding, border, a non broken space , a dot etc

While not expecting consistent displays from the various browsers, the
differences caused me to rethink the margin collapse solution.
1.. The floated links in the menubar should have been cleared after the
containing menubar containing div.
2.. The clearing div should have content to meet the specs. This can be
a non broken space.
3.. The spacing between the menubar and the banner can be set by
declaring a font-size.
I have added another page using this method accessible from http://www.boclair.com/margin-test/

I can understand some reasons for margin-collapse, but was never
particularly a fan of it. Perhaps if it defaulted to "off" it would be
more proper.

I have noticed that the meaning of visibility: collapse has been discussed
on different forums, but with no consensus on what it really means.
Besides, implementations differ.
The specification says:
"The 'visibility' property takes the value 'collapse' for row, row group,
column, and column group elements. This value causes the entire row or
column to be removed from the display, and the space normally taken up by
the row or column to...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
