(CSS) Why isn't my Margin working? **Resolved**

[msimmons]

I have it applied to some cells via the class. Basicly I don't want the text inside to touch the edge of the cell.

<td class="outlined90degrees" style="width:60px;">Number</td>

in the head of the document I have:

table { border-collapse: collapse; }
td { color: Black; font-family: Verdana, Gill Sans, sans-serif; font-size: 7pt;}
.outlined90degrees { border:1px solid black; margin:5px; writing-mode:tb-rl; filter:flipH() flipV();}

(I know some of that is IE only)
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

Maybe you want padding instead of margin? Margin goes around the outside of the border, padding goes between the border and the text on the inside.

Yes, you are correct sir!

Thanks
