hi,
I've been noticing lately that padding property is ADDING to dimensions
of element, this is causing me lots of difficulties..
if for example I have this:
<div class="divMore" align="right">< a href="">Read More</a></div>
and in css:
..divMore {background-image:url(image s/bg_more.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat; height:40px; padding-top:10px;}
it ADDS 10px to HEIGHT of this element, making it not 40px high, but
50px high.. this is not how padding property is supposed to work..
my understanding is padding puts padding between edge of element and
content of element, it's not supposed to ADD to DIMENSION of element..
this is causing me difficulties.. :( please, what am I missing...
thank you very much.. 11  2399

A doctype? A modern browser? And finally, a URL so we can see.

sorry, can't share url, this is at work, development server, not live
yet.. don't have time now to re-create (maybe tonight @ home..) doctype
being used is
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
choice of doctype is not mine, that can't change...
so what's the difference, then, between padding and margin??? I mean
how then are you supposed to add padding space so content of an element
is not against the edge of element??? :(
thank you..

so if I have a <tdthat's, say, 400px wide, and I put a paragraph in
it, and I want a padding ONLY ON THE RIGHT (so table cellpadding
property is not good here) of, say, 20px, so there's 20px empty space
between right edge of paragr and edge of <td>, how do you do that??????
thank you...

Oh you are still worried about that business. Sorry. I have said
things about that in another post, so has Jonathan Little. Did
you get those?
Do you understand what I was saying about it being more than just
according to standards but common sense that padding will
increase height or width naturally and that height and width
specifications cannot be thought to be max height and width. On
this latter, here is another argument: suppose you tell an
element which from its natural content would be say 200px tall,
to be only 20px tall. What do you think should happen, what does
happen? In other words, height instructions are not king. There
are other things that go on to temper and add and probably
subtract.
(btw You don't need Photoshop, download the Firefox browser and
then down load the web developer tools. You will find an
excellent ruler in it that is a easy to use right there on the
webpage).

Unless it's a table cell, row or table, it should be exactly 20px tall
and the content overflows. Usually you can still see it, but only
because the overflow property is set to visible.
In other words, height instructions are not king. There
are other things that go on to temper and add and probably
subtract.
Apart from tables, you should always get exactly the height you ask
for (measured between the top and bottom inside-padding edges).

I was thinking too much about table cells, you are right. It was
misleading.
Heights are tricky customers in practice and there are some
delicious counter-intuitive things that are nice to look at and
get clear on: http://tinyurl.com/272lfm
(this is not intended as any dispute with you or anyone, just a
reminder to myself to make up an easy to remember story to think
of these things as a hobby maybe over the Xmas break... <gJust
btw, MacIE and no doubt WinIE 6 are a bit more intuitively what
you would expect on above url. I have not looked at Win, but
MacIE is a tiny clue to me.)

Hello,
In my (seemingly) endless quest to understand CSS, I have yet another
problem. Please look at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/ph/x.html in
Opera, where you will see it how I expected. If you look at it in IE (6
or 7), you find it also looks fine, except for the top margin missing
from the links across the top of the page. That's not the main issue
here, but any pointers as to why it doesn't show them would be
appreciated.
