Spacing Problem

[harish_s]

I have a div with margin and padding in it. And i want to hide the content inside the div. Iam using js to show, hide process. The problem is when i tried to hide the content, it gets hide but the spacing or the gap remains the same. Firefox renders properly, but not in ie. How can i solve this issue in ie using css?

The safest option would be to remove the element itself, as opposed to just the elements content, by setting 'display:none'
