12 New Member

and heres all the code on that page:

Most elements have a default margin applied to them. I'm not on my dev computer to check but applying 'margin:0' to the paragraphs, divs will probably solve that.

You have margin set to zero on the divs but it's the p element that has margins that are pushing up against the other divs.

i just a new css rule for "p" making it have a margin 0 for all. that should fix the problem for good right?

Yes. Some people set margins on everything to zero and then reset them to what they want. Google for "CSS Reset". The problem is, if they are going to set it to something else anyway, why are they setting it to zero? That's why many don't think it's a good idea.

yea i just set all "p" to zero margin because I have margins left and right on auto for a lot of my divs so that wouldn't really work for me. but, i did solve this little problem thanks to you!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my thread. Hopefully one day I can help people too like how you helped me. Thanks again!

Can anyone help me with this - it may be obvious, but I just can't see it. I'm working with PC and WinME. In IE6, the two divs inside the wrapping div have no space between them, which is how I want it to be, but in NN6.2 and Opera7.11 there's a gap between them. I've tried all the fixes I can think of, but can't get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Pared-down example: http://www.tonyturton.com/test/styletest.html...
