firebug layout panel does not show where margin is coming from

Hi, I am trying to troubleshoot with firebug. I have an element to which I am not aware of applying any margin, and when I use the style panel in firebug, no margin rules show up, and yet in my browser it does have a margin which I want to remove. When I click on the layout panel in firebug it says the element has a margin of 16, but I don't know how to find out where that margin is coming from in my code. Is there some way of finding this out please?

It's probably coming from some default margin, check out the computed rules tab.
