Note that this is what CSS1 said:
and the margins never collapse with the margins of adjacent elements.
[ http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-CSS1-19990111#floating-elements ]
but it was changed in CSS2:
* Vertical margins between a floated box and any other box do not
collapse.
[ http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/box.html#collapsing-margins ]
although it was not noted in the changes from CSS1 in
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/changes.html#changes-from-css1
I wrote a quick test for this behavior at:
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/css/test/2002/float-mc
Some quick results for this test:
* Mozilla (Linux) - CSS1 behavior
* Opera 6 (Linux) - CSS1 behavior
* Konqueror 3.0.0 - CSS2 behavior
* Netscape 4.79 (Linux) - impossible to tell
I'd be interested to hear what WinIE and MacIE do.
