he's hibernating under canicular temperatures and overflowing rivers... and forgot everything.

Or any floated block, for the matter. Floats are always 'display: block' (except when they are not, but that is rather a lone case - table). So sez Alan, above. And the CSS 2.1 spec <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo> And btw, width, height, margin, padding always apply to images (inline replaced elements). Padding and margin may not affect the layout – (in-)line boxes or block boxes level. But it is there nonetheless. </back to summer hibernation> Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
