Margin percentage

**Kayn** · Aug 31, 2007 09:51

If I used a value like:

Code:

body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

#ad {
margin-left: 15&#37;;
padding: 0px;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}

Why is it that in IE the margin-left shows up as 30%? Am I missing something?

*sigh*

I kindof found a solution:

Code:

* html #ad {margin-left: -15%;}

body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

#ad {
margin-left: 15%;
padding: 0px;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}

Works a little better, but the margin-left still isn't even with other browsers. Bleh.

It's called the double margin bug. You can find a solution on the CSS stickies at the top of this forum.
