Re: Style Sheet Equiv Question

Margins, padding... I guess on the site I'm working on, where I'm trying =
to keep everything validating to XHTML Strict, the two act about the =
same. In my use, I've been using margins for just that: margins, and =
using padding for adding space around things I don't want bumping into =
each other... To be honest, I can't actually think of any explicit =
differences between Margins and Padding... they both seem to do the same =
exact thing, unless I'm drawing a border or line, where they do affect =
where that is placed...
