I create a simple form that contains two text boxes and two radio buttons. Please view at the link below.


I added left margin space with "margin: 0 0 0 2em;" In Firefox and Netscape I get no padding with the added margin but in IE6 it creates padding. Where am I getting this extra padding from? I set all elements to "padding: 0 0;" but still IE6 creates padding and margin with the setting of

the complete CSS file is listed below "margin: 0 0 0 2em;"

Code:
#time_con {font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; 
	   float:left; margin: 0 0 0 2em; padding: 0 0; background-color:orange;}


#time_dot {font-weight: bolder; margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0;}




input.text_am_pm {width: 1.3em; height: 1.3em; margin: 0 0; font-size: 10px; text-align: center;}

input.radio_am_pm {width: 1em; margin:0 0; padding: 0 0; background-color:white;}
 
It's not extra padding, it's double margin. A common problem in IE6. Check the link on how to combat it.
