Re: where is overflow:none ?

Thanks a lot, Ernest, for you response!

In the example I want to draw child borders exactly on top of a container's
border. Let's say with different colour.
It seems that I can achieve the same by applying margin:-1px to each child.
So it is not a critical issue.
Just aesthetic reasons: three times for each child or only once - for a
container.

I just thought that there is some logical/physical limitation for
padding:-1px which I cannot see.

Thanks again.
