Not sure why I am having such a hard time with this. Trying to add a 10px top margin to a
that is inside of a div. But that does not add the gutter I want and just pushes the containing div down 10px.
Styles
#item{width:738px; height:168px; background-image:url(../images/item_bg.png);margin:0px auto;}
#description{width:314px; height:55px;}
#description p{font:12px arial; color:#666666;margin:10px 0 0 30px;}
HTML/PHP
echo "<div id='item'>
<div id='description'><p>{$row['description']}</p></div>
</div>";
If I use padding it works fine but I want to know why margin-top isn't working?
