Ingolme Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The <p> elements (an any elements that have a margin) apply their margin to the furthest ancestor node that doesn't have padding or border, or that don't use the overflow property.You can solve it in two ways: Apply margin: 0; to all <p> elements. Apply overflow: auto; or overflow: hidden; to the immediate parent of the <p> element. I personally prefer the second solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
