I'm trying to add some simple padding to an IMG by using a padding-right
style, but it doesn't work in IE. Works fine in Mozilla and Opera, though.
Here's a link to a page which displays this IE problem: http://home.comcast.net/~delerious1/index12.html
I do know that I can solve the problem in IE by changing padding-right to
margin-right, but then the links cannot be clicked when the mouse is over that
margin area. So I would really like to get the padding working in IE. Any
ideas? 17 29241

Padding is IMHO putting a spacing between a container and its contents.
But an img is NOT a container, so IE is right not to construct that.
It is like padding a string of letters instead of its container.
+++ You cannot padd(?) something around itself,
padding is an inside job. +++
If you want padding AROUND an image, that is called a margin.
<span style="padding: 3px;"><img src=".."></span>
is about the same as
<img style="margin:3 px;" src="..">
so never use the same class for img and containers, if you want to use
things ike padding in it.

Padding is spacing between the border and the contents. Margin is
spacing between the total width (width+padding+ border) of the element
and the container.

That is incorrect. Especially for images the W3C box model makes sense.

Again, incorrect.

The problem lies in trying to make the A element display as BLOCK while
including an image as part of the link. See my previous examples from your
other questions. There are better answers i'm sure but I get identicle
output in both IE6 and Mozilla, Opera is another story...

Beste Anne,
I put to you that saying that something is incorrect or makes sense will
give you a moral obligation to tell us why you think so.
I state that a IMG has no content, because it is the content itself.
IMG is no container, it cannot have a inside child, the displayed image
is just a property [or perhaps value] of the IMG.
That's why the idea of padding makes no sense. IE acts on that notion.
Border is something around the img, that can have a size of zero or
bigger and a color or other graffics, and is inside a possible margin
area. Border does not define a container.
Padding is like putting a margin around the children of an object,
remembering that the childs own margin is inside that again.
btw: If the IMG is inline [default] or box [is that possible?] should
have nothing to do with that.
Als je het er niet mee eens bent, leg dan aljeblieft uit waarom.

I'm sorry, but padding for an img element does make sense, at least to
me. I fail to see why that element should be accepted from the box model.
IE acts on that notion.
I didn't know that. But MSIE fails to implement the specs, is that
evidence of anything other than the failures of MS?
Border is something around the img, that can have a size of zero or bigger and a color or other graffics, and is inside a possible margin area.
And if the padding is 0, the border will be snug with the image data;
if the padding is > 0, there will be space between the image and its
border. Is there some reason why you want there to be no option here?
btw: If the IMG is inline [default] or box [is that possible?]
Do you mean block? display: block can be applied to an img element.

It does make sense -- you just have to image that the picture itself is an
anonymous child element of <img>.
IE acts on that notion.
IE acts wrong then.
If I write:
<img src="foobar" alt="Foo Bar" style="margin: 1em; padding: 1em; border:
thin solid black;">
the correct rendition is to draw the picture itself (anonymous child of
<img>), surrounded by 1em of blank space, surrounded by a thin solid black
border, surrounded by another 1em of blank space.

AFAIK, it works in IE6. Standard compliant mode on.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<style type="text/css">
body{
margin:2em;
}
img{
padding:1em;
border:2em solid red;
}
</style>
<img src="" alt="padding + border test image" height="20" width="20">

Hello guys, I have a rather strange problem with IE (googled for it to

I have these two styles in the css file, right?
#menu { left:13px; padding:13px 0 14px 247px; white-space:nowrap }
#menu a { padding:13px 11px 13px 11px }
(I have removed some items that are not relevant to the problem)

For what I have read, Padding errors are due to an incorrect padding :
