Remove top and bottom body margins - html

In order to practise CSS I've decided to create Google-like page. My problem is no matter what I do, there's always that little extra space on top and on bottom of body even though body has margins and padding of 0. HTML tag for some reason works well with the same styles.
HTML code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="pageWrapper">
<div id="topBar">
<ul>
<li>+Tomasz</li>
<li>Gmail</li>
<li>Grafika</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- end of topBar -->
<div id="middleBar">
<div id="centerBox">
<img id="logoImage" alt="Google Logo" src="logo.png" width="269" height="95" />
<input type="text" size="80" />
<span id="countryName">Polska</span>
<div id="centerBoxButtons">
<div class="button">Szukaj w Google</div>
<div class="button">Szczęśliwy traf</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- end of centerBox -->
</div> <!-- end of middleBar -->
<div id="bottomBar">
</div> <!-- end of bottomBar -->
</div> <!-- end of pageWrapper -->
</body>
</html>
CSS code:
html {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#pageWrapper {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
color: rgb(64,64,64);
font-size: 0.85em;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
a:link, a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: rgb(64,64,64);
}
a:active, a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: rgb(64,64,64);
}
#topBar {
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background-color: yellow;

text-align: right;
margin: 0px;

}

}
#countryName {

left: 380px;
}
#centerBoxButtons {
width: 250px;
/*border: solid 2px blue; /*--------------delete later*/
margin-left: 175px;
}
.button {

background-color: rgb(240,240,240);
border: solid 1px rgb(150,150,150);

The anwser is simple. add margin:0px; to your #topBar ul. Here you have a working fiddle

This is a simple way you just put margin padding on top see the code.
*{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
html {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#pageWrapper {

color: rgb(64,64,64);
font-size: 0.85em;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
a:link, a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: rgb(64,64,64);
}
a:active, a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: rgb(64,64,64);
}
#topBar {
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background-color: yellow;
line-height: 60px;
text-align: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#topBar ul {
list-style-type: none;

}
#centerBox {
margin-top: 125px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 600px;
height: 200px;
/*border: solid 2px red; /*--------------delete later*/
}

What you see is the padding of the <ul> in the topbar. This happens because many HTML elements have their own default style. Also, these defaults are browser specific, which doesn't really help you if you want to create a layout that is pixel-precise against multiple browsers.
What I mostly to is simply reset all paddings and margins of all elements:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Some will say that the above technique leads to heavier load of the rendering engine but I never had any issue by doing this. Anyway, you can find a lot of 'CSS reset' scripts that are more selective and are faster. Search other questions on SO tagged css-reset and also check this Q/A

CSS layout min-height and flexbox not support on IE 11

I've asked this once here: Content DIV minheight not working in IE 11 and footer is too low
but the solution is not ok because the left-side and right-side content cannot set width 70% : 30%
I use CSS minheight on div-content but it's not working in Internet Explorer version 11 (but other browser is fine.) IE-11 can set height but it will not auto-vertical stretch when the div has excess text. So I need to use min-height.

Link controls not working

I'm trying to control the "show more" link and cannot, I've used link controls before, but this one is puzzling me. The link I've tried to control so far is #r_a_show_more_link ("show more" link on right under recent activity) it's code is at the bottom of the CSS, but I can't get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the CSS selectors? Please look at the code and run the snippet!
Thanks a lot!

You need to remove the space before :visited in the CSS:
#r_a_show_more_link:visited {
color: black;
}
you have an extra space before your :hover,:visited and:active, so remove it, like this:
#r_a_show_more_link:visited {
color: black;
}
#r_a_show_more_link:hover {
color: gray;
border-color: gray;
}
#r_a_show_more_link:active {
color: black;
border-color: black;
}

I'm working on my website and the heading (h1) text is taking up two lines, which it has space for but shouldn't as it has plenty of space to just take up one line. I want it to only span one line, and I'm wondering why it isn't doing that? Thanks!
The text I'm taking about is the <h1>, id="welcome", content Welcome to my website!.

It's being caused by the floats on your search-box and on your ul menu. If you're going to use floats you should clear them, although in general, floating things just causes more problems than it fixes.
Add a clear-fix for your header:
header::after {
clear: both;
content: '';
display: table;
}
CodePen
Try using "display: inline-block;" at the end of your 'welcome' CSS.
#welcome {
border: 1px solid #999;
color: rgb(0, 0, 110);
font-size: 100px;
margin: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 130px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
You can use padding instead of margin.
here is the code
#welcome {
border: 1px solid #999;
color: rgb(0, 0, 110);
font-size: 100px;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 10px 20px 10px;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-o-box-sizing: border-box;
-ms-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Below code after padding are css3 that helps in cross browser compatibility

How do i limit the page to the full browser width?

I dont want to be able to scroll my page from left to right. I want my page to look like what it looks like when scrolled completely to the left. I have tried making the body width 100% but i am not not sure that is what i am supposed to do.

Although your styling has many fundamental flaws, if all you're trying to achieve is to prevent horizontal scrolling, then this should suffice:-
Replace
overflow: scroll;
in -> body {} to
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
So, your body styling changes to
body{
margin: 0;
background-color: white;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,freesans,sans-serif;
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
width: 1400px;
}
try to make the container width:100% . then give the width and position value of the elements inside the container relative to the container in percent . hope it will work

Ordered Lists Html Page Tabs to Open Webpages in same page

So I'm building a site and I want to have little tabs on the right hand side that will change the content on the main page without having to refresh the entire page, like an embedded page within the main page. I am working from a template (HTML and CS) and trying to modify the existing content. In the code you can notice that there is an ordered list which defines the buttons (Like Homepage and etc) and when hovered over they change background and look fancy, but they don't actually do anything. I've been reading up about how to make them change the page (by following a link) but I am confused and can't figure out how to do it. I was hoping you guys could help me. I'm very noobish to HTML and CSS and just trying to put something together and learn from example while also building a private site. Thank you for your help in advance!

Add this to your style..
#page2, #page3, #page4, #page5{
display:none;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 30px 0px;
}
note:change the #content to class type..
If i were you, i would use css property
display: none;
on the elements that you are hiding initially, then use jquery's
.toggle()
method to fade in the elements when the user clicks the link. As in
$('.target').toggle();
Where target is the name of your div id.
IF you are looking for a way to load content on mouseover, here is what I would suggest:
Use a little bit o' jQuery and AJAX:
$("#menu a").on("mouseover",function(){
//Get url of link
var url = $(this).attr('href');
//Perform ajax call to said link
$.ajax(
{
url:"/echo/json",
success:function(data){
//USED FOR MOCKING PURPOSES ONLY
data = exampleContent;
//Append the data to your content wrapper
$("#page #content").html(data[url]);
}
});
});
Here is a working example
This is a fancier version with fading. I call that a splash of awesome
