white space at top of page

mdb01 · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 26th, 2006, 13:29

Hi

I've just joined this forum.

my page has been designed in Frontpage - i have done some css coding in the code view. (I know that i should use dreamweaver as alot better, i will be soon!!!)

I have notice on alot of websites that their page starts right at the top, without any white space - e.g. http://www.tg007.net/

If you notice on that site, it starts right at the top, on frontpage, i have a small bit of white space at the top. I have tried this in dreamweaver but still, same issue. I am not talking about the background color. I mean that alot of people have the logo right at the top, just like tg007.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

Thank you for your time

Matt

Get to code view and put

<style type="text/css">
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
</style>

anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags. It removes any padding or margins the document has resulting in a document that starts from the upper left corner.

Stressiton has the right idea except that it should be the first entry in your css file and I would use:

Code: Select all

* {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
}

What your saying here is default all margin and padding to zero. That way you know for sure where you are starting from.
