whitespace between border and element? 1

[tiamat2012]

Is it possible? I'm trying to put a 3px whitespace between the border of one of my divs and the border.

If its not, should I just put a div around it with 3px margin with the border instead?

Thanks,
Kerry

Use padding.

What's a snow border? I'm giving my div a background color, but I want whitespace between it and a border (which I am making it red).

Thank you,
Kerry

Ah, if I understand you correctly, you'll need two divs to do that:

<div class="double"><div>
Content goes here!
</div></div>

Then you can style it like this:

div.outer {
   border: 1px solid red;
   background: white;
   padding: 3px;
}

div.outer div {
   background: red;
}

Ooh, that CSS should be

div[red].double[/red] {
   border: 1px solid red;
   background: white;
   padding: 3px;
}

div[red].double[/red] div {
   background: red;
}
