IE 7 applying padding to random elements

18 New Member
Hi. Here is the structure of my document

Container
--Header
--Navigation
--Main
----Sidebar
----Main Content
--Footer
Container Ends

I'm using a background image for the container, which is decorates the left hand side of the container box. i have applied padding-left: 30px to shift all child blocks inside the container to left.
On IE 7, the header works as expected, so does the navigation, and the footer.
But it doesnt apply the padding to main. i tried giving a margin-left to main, but that didnt work as well.
can anybody figure out whats wrong? the curvaceous background graphic
is looking horrible with overlapping main block.

It is working as expected in Firefox 2 and Opera 9. IE7 hates me.

According to my book, the padding property is defined for all elements. However, when I set the property for the element <A>, only the left the right padding is applied and not the top and bottom padding. I checked a couple of other browsers and couldn't find any that implemented top and bottom padding for the <A> element, assuming I have done it correctly. #bar A {

I have a specific situation where I am applying padding to text inside of a "P" tag, where if the text wraps then the second line of text ignores the padding.

Hi All, I need to be able to choose a random string from an array. That is easy enough, but I want to restrict the repetition of that string until one or two other choices have been made. So the following output would be ok a,b,c,a,d,c or a,c,d,a,d,a but the following would not; a,b,c,c, or a,b,b,c, etc... I hope that makes sense. If it helps to understand what I'm trying to do I have the following python code.

Hello, This is a question for the best method (in terms of performance only) to choose a random element from a list among those that satisfy a certain property. This is the setting: I need to pick from a list a random element that satisfies a given property. All or none of the elements may have the property. Most of the time, many of the elements will satisfy the property, and the property is a bit expensive to evaluate. Chance of...
