can anyone help please? i have included the html and css code below

Code: Select all

 <html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
   <div id="top">
    Top Box
   </div>
   <div id="bottom">
    Bottom Box

#top{
background-color:yellow;
margin:0px;
padding;0px;

margin:0px;
padding:0px;

Let's play "Spot the error"

Code: Select all

#top{
background-color:yellow;
margin:0px;
padding;0px;
}

also ... you don't need to add units to 0 values. 0 is 0 in everything

HI, Philiph - Learning how to validate your own code is extremely useful and can save a lot of angst. Here is a link for validating your CSS (and HTML):
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
This will likely give you an instant result with errors in your coding. It's basically professional self-help.

Hope that helps.

Linda, are you a squirrel. If you are then I'm afraid we're going to have a falling out.

Pete.

No Pete.. I'm not a squirrel. I just like gifts of any kind!
