When using padding it repeats the div (image)??

[iDenning]

Hey

Im currently coding a layout and when Im using padding-bottom/padding-left it repeats the image instead of actually making space?

How can I stop/fix this?

Cheers! Help appreciated!

try margin instead. Padding just affects content within a div.. I think.

I only remembered because I always screw it up myself ;)

Margin is outside
Padding is inside

You could also fix this with the CSS background repeat property... assuming you're talking about the background.

I think you can correct it by modifying the Width in terms of the padding. So if you have 5px padding your subtract 5px of the width of the image.
