  <title>CSS Test: transparency of margin area and background-color</title>

  <meta content="The margin area of an element is always transparent. The background-color of an element never paints its own margin area. The background-color of an element only paints its own border area (if any), its own padding area (if any) and its own content area (if any). Therefore the background-color of the content area (and of the padding area, if any, and of the border area, if any) of a parent element shines through the margin area of its child. In this test, div#parent is painted green and is 100px by 100px; its sole child has an 99px margin bottom and a 100px margin right margin which are transparent and through which we can see the background color of its parent." name="assert" />
