Thanks D.
I have just checked my html again and also re-upoaded it to eliminate
possible confusion.
My IE7 and IE6 are both displaying only 20 px between the inside of the
green border at the top and the outside of the top black border of the first
contained div.
However FF displays 30 px.
They all display 30 px at the corresponding bottom location.
I would love an explanation that makes any sort of sense.
