Hi,
It seems that if I put a div around a group of text, and then in css assign a
width to it, then give it padding, then the padding increases the total width
of the container by the padding amount. However, if I put an addition div in,
then the padding doesn't increase the total width of the container. Why is this
so? Have I just not read about it yet? Is one method better than the other, or
just user preference?
Sincerely,
Brian
Please see below for examples.
Ex 1:
<div id="content">
<p> blah blah blah </p>
</div>
#content {
padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;
}
Ex 2:
<div id="content">
<div>
<p> blah blah blah </p>
</div>
</div>
#content div {
padding: 50px 50px 50px 50px;
}
