margin-top question

[kitcorsa]

ive got 3 boxes with information containd in them. im watnting to line these boxes up with other information / images on the page.

this is the basic html

<div id="yellowbox">
<p>infomation here</p>
</div>
 
<div id="yellowbox">
<p>infomation here</p>
</div>
 
<div id="yellowbox">
<p>infomation here</p>
</div>

each box has a top margin of 10px, how ever i would like the first box / div to have a top margin of 20px so it lines up with other elements on my page. can this be done.

i know you can do it with odds and even but can the first child be done alone???

Can you change the id of the first box? To maybe yellowboxfirst? then it can get its own css.

yeah thats what ive done at the moment but it just makes the css more complex. as you can imagen im not the only person using the site so i have to try to makethings as easy as possible. so other people changing the infor only have to give the correct dive or a yellow box red box green box etc not the first second first etc etc etc
