I'm having a problem with the page elements moving when I add a border in a HTML 5 document.
I expected the containing header element (grey) to appear at the top of the screen, but it seems to take the margin from the inner div (red). However if I add a border to the header it appears where I expect and the red inner div only moves slightly!
(1st image: without border; 2nd image: with border)
I have tried setting relative or absolute positioning, using a div instead of the header element, setting margins & padding to 0, using a HTML4 doctype etc. The HTML validates. This is the HTML stripped of everything and still doesn't work. Its happening in latest Chrome & FF.
HELP!! What have I missed?? Or any workarounds (other than keeping the border)?
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<header><div id="mydiv"></div></header>
<div id="content"><p>hello</p></div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
header {background-color:#CCCCCC; width:960px; height:430px;}
#mydiv {width:960px; height:320px; margin:80px 0px 0px 0px; background-color:#CC0000; }
