Chrome and Safari ignoring margins

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 29.2009

For some odd reason, Chrome and Safari are ignoring the margin in this CSS code:

[code=html]#issue{
margin-left: 170px;
padding: 50px 20px;
text-align:center;
}
[/code]

Any ideas?

@FangJan 29.2009 — You will have to give a lot more code; the html and css of he element and it's parent. Preferably a link.

In which browsers does it appear to work correctly?

@bejitto101authorJan 29.2009 — It works right in IE and FF.

The CSS for the parent element:

[code=html]#content {
background-color:#59554A;
overflow:hidden;
}[/code]

The div with the issue is #issue. The content should be centered, in the right column, and aslo, there are some issues with overflow:hidden. In chrome, it seems cutting off some content when the window size is changed. I assumed this is because it's not displaying the margin correctly yet still trying to hide the overflow while still taking into account the margin.

Edit: I seemed to fix the issue by removing:

[code=html]
 height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
[/code]

from the parent.

Success!
