So this is a weird one, I'm getting a small margin at the very top of my page even though I've applied the standard CSS reset. If I open the inspector in Chrome / Firefox / or even gasp IE, I see that the body is reading my margin:0 reset, but still adding a gap regardless.
Gap:
Chrome Web Inspector that shows margin:0 is being honord:
So, the super duper weird part here is that if throw an important like margin: 0 !important; , the gap goes away. I've used this exact template set up many many times without issue. Hopefully someone sees something that is eluding me right now.

}
#wrap {
width: 100%;
background: transparent url(../images/leaves.jpg) no-repeat center top;
}
The margin is on the <h2>, not the <body>. There must be some other selector for h2 that is adding the additional top margin. In your own Site.css styles, include margin-top: 0 for the h2
Bootstrap is probably overriding it from another element. Check the elements it is nested in for margin being set in main.css.

I have seemed to encounter an unknown space below the div pair.
I have used the bootstrap grid concept and made use of rows and columns to have 2 adjacent Divs.
Then I have used CSS to make the div fill the whole space of the screen but I seem to get unaccounted for white space below the divs.
I have already tried including an advanced CSS reset.
Here is the html :
#half_box_1 {
width: 50%;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #FFAEAB;
}
#half_box_2 {
width: 50%;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #FFC0FA;
}
#following_div {
height: 500px;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
}

I am unable to comprehend this unaccounted space.
Since you probably have noticed (by the comments), your code seems to work fine.
Your problem seems to be somewhere else in your CSS.
First, try to use the following CSS to see if it works:
* {
padding: 0 !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
If that worked, you can delete it and you need to start debugging.
Open up Chrome DevTools and go to Sources -> Page and find your CSS file(s). Try to delete each CSS block one after the other. If there is no more space between, you may found out where the problem is.
this is default margin, Please add this code body{margin: 0;padding: 0;} in css
I am making a hangman game. And I am working on styling everything. I am including CSS reset in my HTML and I think it is causing my tags to error out. Like my H1 tag isn't working now. Any thoughts?
The H1 tag should make my text big and bold. However that is not working. The linked stylesheet I am using is empty right now. When I remove the CSS Reset link the H1 then works correctly.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hangman</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/reset.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container" id="gamebox">
<h1>Hang-Person</h1>
</div>
</body>
<script src="assets/javascript/game.js"></script>
</html>
The last script tag is outside the body tag. It should be inside
Be aware to not repeat the same properties for each object in CSS.
Example:
In reset.css:
body {
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
And in style.css:
body {
margin: 20px;
text-align: justify;
}
It might cause the browser to get confused, I recommend you to do CSS reset in only one of your stylesheets. You can do it in the other one as well, but it won't be as efficient.
Here you have the universal CSS reset code:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
After this, you can specify the margin or padding to every element, although it violates the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
CSS Working example:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.object1 {
padding: 70px;
}
It would be more helpful if you post the CSS code for better answers.
Last but not least, the last <script src="assets/javascript/game.js"></script> tag should be inside the body tag.
EDIT: try with the universal CSS reset code and keep the linked stylesheet.
I have made a simple web page. I can see no blank space when I open the website on safari, but on firefox, there is a gap that is probably 30px tall.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>
<div style="background-color: blue;">
<h1>hello</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body {
margin: 0;
}
You need to remove the margin on the heading as well. For example:
body, h1 {
margin: 0;
}
body, h1 {
margin: 0;
}
<div style="background-color: blue;">
<h1>hello</h1>
</div>
You could make it easy for yourself and reset all margins/paddings in your CSS (won't affect elements);
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Certain browsers will put margin around header tags. It's always a good idea to include a reset.css file on your site so that things appear how you want them to cross browsers.
Here's a simple reset.css file for you to include.
I have been doing web design for a little over a year now, but still have strange things happen on the front end sometimes. I am creating a simple template for personal use using the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Matt's Template</title>
<!-- Stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/2.1.0/normalize.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/general.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<section class="container">
<h1>Matt's Template</h1>
</section>
<!-- Javascript Libraries -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<!-- My Javscript -->
</body>
</html>
If I view this code in my Chrome browser, it appears that the body is shifted about 15px down from the html tag. However, my css explicitly tells the html and body tags to have no padding or margin. So why is there this space?? This has happened before and I am not really sure how I solved it. There must be some obvious answer. Here is my css too.
html, body {
height:100%;
width:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
.container {
height:100%;
width:960px;
position:relative;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
background:#E0E0E0;
}
The problem is that your <h1> still has its default margin, you have only taken off the default <body> margin of 8px, but not the other elements which have default UA styles. You should look into using a reset so you can 'start from scratch' for each element.

Try adding
h1 {margin:0}
or
h1 {display:inline-block}
if you want to keep its margins inside the parent.
jsfiddle
That's because h1 has a default margin assigned by the browser; that could be kinda messy.
Some people just do this in order to prevent default margins and padding:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
And that literally means:
"Hi browser, please nullify all the defaults margins and padding on all the existing elements. Thanks!"
I'm building a web app and unfortunately I have a white border around the top and left of the page. I have set the html and body padding and margin to 0px but it doesn't seem to be having any effect on it. Inside of the body is a single iframe and when I preview the site and I go on inspect element it shows that the padding is on the body...
Here is the code - if anyone could take a look that would be great!
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1,IE=edge" />
<title>index</title>
<style>
html {
height:100%;
}
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px !important;
padding: 0px !important;
height:100%;
}
</style>
<!-- copy these lines to your document head: -->
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=320" />
<!-- end copy -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- copy these lines to your document: -->
<div id="index_hype_container" style="margin:auto;position:relative;width:100%;height:100%;overflow:hidden;" aria-live="polite">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="index.hyperesources/index_hype_generated_script.js?4823"></script>
</div>
<!-- end copy -->
</body>
</html>
JSFiddle
Try setting the margins of the #my-iframe to a negative number, e.g. -10px:
#my-iframe {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: -10px;
}
This may cut a small section of the iframed site off, but judging by the look of the site a few pixels off the edge won't do much damage.
