Padding would let the background of the element show through. I'm not sure. I don't think it was considered in such detail by the HTML working group. I think the term 'white space' is simply one used as a convenience. I don't think one can be so certain about this; the reason I put the 'white space' quote in was in case anyone said it was definitely padding (HTML also refers to it as 'gutter'. ===== ---------------------------------------------------------- From Matthew Brealey (http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet (for law)or http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet/WEBFRAME.HTM (for CSS)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
