I am trying to make a layer that has text in it, with a backgound
color and a border. The problem is that it puts in this annoying space
between the background color and the border. I want the background color
to extent to the beginning of the border, but I get this white space that
I can't get rid of. I have tried seeting the margin and padding values,
but they won't fix the problem. This is the code that I am using:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
#item {
width: 120;
color: black;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-family: sans-serif;
border-width: 1;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
line-height: normal;
background-color: gray;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white">
<DIV ID="item">this is a layer!</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
