Div margin collapses when using overflow:auto


Recommended Posts

I have a div inside a div. The first div is 800 pixels and the one inside it is 780 pixels. The div inside uses margin auto to center itself inside the surrounding div but for some reason in IE the margin collapses when I add overflow:auto

 

<div style="margin:0px auto; width:800px; background-color:#282828; border:1px solid #383838; padding-top:8px;">
<div style="margin:10px auto 8px; height:380px; width:780px; background-color:#282828; border:1px solid #383838;" id="Response-1">
	bla bla	
</div>
</div>

 

Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks
