Vertical paddings on those container-divs will "separate margins" and prevent that, so something as simple as... div {padding: 1px 0;} ....will make it appear alright. Many other properties/values that will "contain margins", are listed in the spec[1]. You can of course also zero out the margins on paragraphs and add paddings to them instead - if that suits your design. regards Georg [1]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
