borders are added to visualize the size of elements.

padding are added to visualize the parent-child relationship.

take a look first,

after that, remove height, and take a second look.

Answer 2

Because you set all of the tag height 100px.

So its mean you set div 100px height, and that div containt 2 p tags each 100px so total 200px height p inside 100px height div.

Thats mean 2 <p> tags inside the <div> are higher than the div it self, it cause an offside.

Try to set <div style="height:200px"> , i believe your problem will be solved.

Tips : avoid to use * { } in css it will causes alot of ambigous statement in your css.

Answer 3

Another tips if you wanna keep that code :

Change the height:100px into min-height:100px.

So there willnot be offside of height
