David and Phillippe,
The div#layout_AdBox p { margin-bottom: 0; } takes care of the problem. What I
don't understand is that it appears that my blue <div> is the object with the
margin-bottom as the gap that appears is on the outside of the blue div. How
does the margin-bottom:10px; on my <p> tags make a gap outside of the div?
