Issues with spacing while using a masterpage

Question

I am working with visual studio 2010 and I'm using a site.master page. This is working out fine, but the issue I'm having now is that when I place the content that goes within the containers and I try to add space between the site master page and the page I'm working on nothing happens. I want there to be a little space between each and nothing is working. I've added margins to the bottom of the content page, breaks, and even line spacings and nothing is working. If I have the following tags, nothing happens.

 <asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent"> 


    <div class="content">
     <br />
     </div>
     <br />


    </asp:Content>

The final div may not have any content in it, but it'll have margin information. Even if I put the margin information in the last div that has content nothing is happening. I just don't understand why it's not reading the spacing that I'm trying to enter in.

Without seeing that in context, have you tried a `
` after your possibly empty `
`? Or using an ` ` for blank content? — Andrew Morton, Jun 06 '14 at 17:46
Putting the div with the style clear worked!! Thanks for the help! — user3605281, Jun 06 '14 at 18:02

Put a <div style="clear:both;"></div> after your possibly empty <div>.

There is a good explanation of how it works at What is the use of style=“clear:both”?.
