You want to keep the paragraphs margins from escaping their container div. To do that you must prevent them from 'touching' the div margins. Interposing a tiny bit of padding (or border) can do that. #content { padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; } Roger, -- Roger Roelofs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
