Hi,
I'm looking for clarification of css 2.1 specification in section 8.3.1
"Collapsing Margins"
The 6th bullet reads "If the top and bottom margins of a box are
adjoining ..."
I won't paste the whole point here, its too long.
But, from this first line does this mean that the element has empty
content, no border, and no padding? Further on in the same point its
mentioned that :
"An element that has had clearance applied to it never collapses its
top margin with its parent block's bottom margin" ... what is this
reffering to? how could it happen that a top margin of a child aligns
with the bottom margin of its parent?
Sorry, I'm somewhat new to learning CSS and haven't found a very
detailed book on newer aspects in CSS 2.1 so I'm really struggling to
understand all the fine points. Is there any clearer explanation of
these specifications? It seems to me that a text description is almost
impossible to understand at times.
