Dear list,
I have been working around this behaviour (bug?) for quite some time
now. I can't take it anymore :) Let me explain. Or better yet give you a
barebones example. Please have a look at the fully commented testcase I
have here:
http://www.digitale-wertschoepfung.de/test/margin-kills-background.html
I hope you can understand what my problem is here. Now, is this the
expected behaviour for standard compliant modern browsers? Where is it
documented? (I wouldn't know how to search for this problem). Do I have
to use borders at all cost? I don't want to use position: absolute or
fixed dimensions either. And naturally I want to avoid padding on the
outer div as well. I have worked around this for at least 15 in the last
times year by simply applying borders, but I want to finally understand
what is going on here.
