First, Welcome to CSS Discuss....
the CSS you provided above makes no sense me;
#outer
{
: 10px; <-- 10 px of what? height? width?
: 10px; <-- etc
: 1px solid blue; <-- I'm assuming this is a border...... and would be
properly written, border: 1px solid blue;
}
Similarly, in the XHTML you have label id="lf1" but that's not in the styles
provided. Unless it's in the external link to your real test.css.....
which we can't see.... so, looking at the code provided isn't much help....
and any solution offered would only be a wag.....
A link to a real page or a test page with the problem would make it easier
for the folks on the list to help you solve this problem.
Best
