vmars316 1 Report post Posted February 6 Ah... That worked great for between Row1 and Row2 . But between Row2 and Row3 there is still a space . I tried variations of vertical-align: top; and vertical-align: bottom; and margin-bottom: 1001em; and margin-bottom: -1000em; but no go yet .

Ingolme 939 Report post Posted February 6 It's just a case of collapsing margins, you would be able to see this if you used the browser's development tools to inspect the element and its children. This would be easier if you were using classes instead of IDs so that you could reuse them. A quick solution to your problem is to add overflow: auto to #Row3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vmars316 1 Report post Posted February 6 Thanks , That did it . I did use DevTools but didn't interpret it as anything wrong . I am checking out overflow here: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp As always. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 939 Report post Posted February 6 The solution I provided is not directly related to the overflow property, but setting overflow does solve it. It's just a side-effect of the overflow property on elements with variable height. If you want to learn more about the real problem, you should research "collapsing margins" rather than the overflow property. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
