Nevermind, I already found the solution. I was using margin-top, when I had to use padding-top. Thank you anyway

Hi, thank you both for your answers. The first one seemed to work better. How about the margin thing? I still can make the content to have a space at the margins.

Hi everybody. First of all, this is my very first post, and I wanted to congratulate and thank the creators of this site. It's really really helpful and I've been using it for a long time before even needed to post. I'm working on a music band site. It will look like a bandcamp site, but I want to be able to add/remove/modify/personalize everything. I'm just using a free web hosting for testing, and the code is still rough, but it's only to see how it looks like. The URL is: http://costarica.myartsonline.com/tdr/ My first two problems are with the "main" body part. I've created a DIV with a transparency so you can see the background image, but I want only the "box" to be transparent, not the content. You can see the code by clicking on the right button: View source code. For now, the file is really short, and I haven't used a separate CSS file (again, it's just to see how it looks like). The second one is the top and bottom margin of that main body box. I've used a DIV layout inside the main one, cause the content was too stuck to the left, but there's probably a better way to do it. I'm open to suggestions. The thing is that I can't manage to leave a top and bottom margin, unless I use the <br> tag, which I don't like. The margin-top and margin-bottom parameters don't seem to do anything in any of the DIV's style parameters (I've tried in both of them). .transparent {background-color: #F4F3F3;height: 1000px;width:1000px;zoom: 1;filter: alpha(opacity=50);opacity: 0.5;margin-left: auto ;margin-right: auto ;border-radius: 5px;box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #000000;}<div id="body2" class="transparent"><div id="body3" style="height:auto;width:950px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><br><br>(...)</div></div> Thank you
