Hi, why isn't http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~mjsmith recognizing the top margin in the menu section?

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#margin-properties "vertical margins will not have any effect on non-replaced inline elements".
Try putting the links in a block level container element (like P) and give that a margin instead. Or you could use some top margin on the BODY element in the menu frame page. |

Could you explain what non-replaced inline elements are? |

Replaced elements are those that embed some kind of object in the page. An example is IMG. Form controls are also replaced elements.
<ADDED> I realize now that the above isn't a good definition. I'm searching for the exact words in the spec but I don't find it. Darin! Come and help!  |

Found the CSS view on the matter.

An inline element is one that does not "form new blocks of content".
A replaced element is one that is "outside the scope of the CSS formatter, such as an image, embedded document, or applet." |

Heah, found that, but isn't "replaced element" defined in HTML too?

Really? Odd. I guess my memory tricks me. Thought they had "always" been called that.
Thanks. |
