Re: [Spam?] Padding Property : Implementation bug in NS4.04 (Win95)?

Yeah! *#@#*%,
Add the following to your style sheet and you will see what is happening.
4.04 is making a flow object, but not putting the text in it! I tried for an
hour but I couldn't make it work!!

<style>

.listbox{color:red;
background-color:yellow;
width:100%;
padding-top:2em;
padding-bottom:1em;
border:thin solid;
 }
