I am creating a page and I noticed that IE6 (and I am sure 5) does not recognize the padding tag. I write padding-left:30 whatever and nothing happens in IE. I have defaulted to using the Margin tag, but there is one problem.
I was using padding and a bottom border to create a graphic element underneath some graphic text. Basically it looks underlined with the underline width greater than the size of the image because of the padding. Since I am not using padding anymore, the underline is simply the width of the text.
Is there a hack or something to get IE to recognize padding?
ThanksIE does recgonize padding. But you wrote padding-left:30. 30 what? You need to specify units such as pixels (px).Hahahaha I know that! I was just being lazy. It should read "padding:30px;" but that wasn't working in IE. Let me be more specific. I was padding the right side of an image [padding-right:30px;] in order to add a bottom border that would exceed the length of the image. The padding didn't show up in IE.
I appreciate your help and I am sorry for being lazy and causing confusion, but I tell you (I swear :]) the padding wasn't showing up in IE. Any ideas?
Thanks,It's hard to understand what exactly you're describing...but...
Try using height/width to create excess area around your image.
To have a 30 px border beyond the image:
<div style="height: 120px; border-right: 1px solid black;">
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"file.htm" width="90px" height="90px"/>
</div>
You can add padding, to add more space between the border and image, too, if you want.
Good Luck -
