Rob,
Actually the margin-top works in IE but breaks in FF
<div id="container">
<div id="main">Main Column</div>
<div id="leftcolumn">Left column</div>
<div id="rightcolumn">Right column</div>
<div id="threecolumnbottom">The column</div>
</div>
body, form, p {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#container {
width: 970px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 140px;
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
margin-left: -828px;
background-color: Gray;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 140px;
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
background-color: Fuchsia;
}
#threecolumnbottom {
margin-top: 100px;
width: 968px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#main {
width: 664px;
margin-left: 152px;
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #000;
display: inline;
background-color: Lime;
text-align: center;
}

Subject: Re: OT: css n00b question
I prefer using margin when I'm creating space between containers and padding
when I'm trying to create space between content and the container edge. I
just find it easier to think about that way, I guess. I don't know why
margin isn't working for you, though. Can you post a *snippet* of the css?
