DannyGolden Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi, I'm simply trying to induce a gap between my navigation area and my content area, like this website:http://www.thearteryfoundation.com/ But whenever I try adding padding or margin, my two div's seem to be attached at the hip.

dsonesuk Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 #nav { background-color: #000000; /* float: left; removed by dsonesuk, causes non float element/s below it to merge*/ overflow: hidden; /*added by dsonesuk, so nav can envelope floated child elements*/ padding: 0; /* width: 100%; remove by dsonesuk, now not required with float removed*/} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
