Hello I am just getting started with HTML and CSS but having a weird issue.
If I use border:0; and padding:0; I still get a white space all the way around my div. I can fix the issue by doing margin:-8; but that doesn't seem right to me. I am using Dreamweaver if that matters. thanks!
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="navbar">Home - Introduction - Stakeholders - Implementation Plan - Proposal - Training</div>
</body>
</html>
and the CSS:
#charset "utf-8";
#navbar {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #CCC;
height: 25px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin: 0px;
}
I figured it out thanks!
Adding a body tag in my CSS and setting the margins to auto fixed this.

I was just messing around with CSS & HTML and added a header with a background color to the top of my website. Then I saw that there was lots of white space on top of the header's background color and to the sides of it. How do I get rid of this white space using CSS? Here is my code along with a picture of how the website looks right now:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Website
</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css'/>
<script src='script.js'></script>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Baloo+Bhaina" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
.typeofvirus{
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
br {
line-height: 2%;
}
#topheader{
background-color: #2c3e50;
width: 100%;
color: white;
margin-top: -1%;
}
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p></p>
<section id = "topheader">
<div id = "topheaderdiv">
<h1 style = "font-family: 'Baloo Bhaina', cursive; text-align: center;"><big>Hello</big><br><small><small><small style = "font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;">This is a webpage</small></small></small></h1>
</div>
</section>
<h2 class = "typeofvirus">What are Microbes?</h2>
<p></p>
<h3 class = "typeofvirus"><big>Types of viruses caused by microbes in the bathroom</big></h3>
<ul>
<li style = "font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;"><i><big>Dermatophitic fungi</big></i>: Caused by people walking barefoot in bathrooms</li>
<li style = "font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;"><i><big>Gastrointestinal viruses</big></i>: Caused by contact with a toilet. This can remain on a solid surface for over a week. This causes stomach ailments.</li>
<li style = "font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;"><i><big>Residual fungi</big></i>: which can cause asthma or allergies. This is caused by the mold in the bathroom due to lack of cleaning.</li>
</ul>

You need to reset your body and html margin and padding too:
Add this to your CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
I would go with anned20's answer but for the sake of academic curiosity you can also add
overflow: hidden;
to body and html. Or manually give the element a negative upper margin and a 100% width like this
#topheader{
background-color: #2c3e50;
width: 100%;
color: white;
margin-top: -1%;
}
But, again, anned's solution is ideal.
I have a div with a custom font and I'm trying to make it so the text has the same height as the div it's inside of.
I've been trying to find a way to override the vertical alignment of text without a div with no success.
I was hoping there was something like the text-indent method for this purpose.
Here's a simple JsFiddle with my example.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lekton' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<style>
.texto {
background-color: #000;
height: 24px;
font-family: 'Lekton', sans-serif;
color:white;
font-size: 24px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="texto">Test</div>
</body>
</html>
Use a line-height CSS property :
line-height : 24px;
Add a line-height with a property value that measures the height of the containing DIV
<style>
.texto {
background-color: #000;
height: 24px;
font-family: 'Lekton', sans-serif;
color: white;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 24px; /* This line solves your problem */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="texto">Test</div>
</body>
I am currently working on a practice example website as part of my Computer Science GCSE course. I am having real trouble with the navigation CSS. The website is very much in progress, so I know it's not great, but here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>The Cotswold Jeweller</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/normalize.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/main.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Assets/css/grid.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="head">
<h1>The Cotswold Jeweller</h1>
</div>
<div class="nav_contain">
<ul class="nav">
<li><h2>Home</h2></li>
<li><h2>Services</h2></li>
<li><h2>Location</h2></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="wrapper">

<div class="footer">

</body>
</html>
And here is the CSS:
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.wrapper {
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
}
.head {
text-align: center;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 32px;
}
.nav li h2 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
width: 366px;
float: left;
}
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}
.nav_contain {
border-top: 5px #990000 solid;
border-bottom: 5px #990000 solid;
}
I would like to have the navigation bar between, the two borders of the navigation container, but they are not aligned properly. Please can you provide a solution below. Thank You.
You can add overflow: auto to the .nav container. This will prevent its height from collapsing because it only contains floated elements.
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
}
Alternatively, adding this to .nav_contain has a similar effect.
Add this
.nav li{
display:inline-block;
}
and remove the h2 tags.
You may also have to reduce the size of the "a" tags to get them to stay in a line on screen. I'm on a 1280px monitor at the moment and I had to reduce their width to 300px.
Another alternative is to just remove the li tags completely. The links should still display side by side, and because your borders are outside of ".nav" then they should contain it.
If it doesn't work, just let me know.
generally try to avoid fixed values like
width: 1100px; //(1)
you can replace it for example by
width: 90%; //(2)
the (1) is destroying your site on other resolution than yours. Use (2) to avoid it.

I want to delete the margin top of my page. I will show you what I mean with a screenshot
You can see in my pic there are a red arrow that indicate my problem. How I can delete this margin?
I post here my css:
div#header {
background-color: #6495ED;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 100% 90deg, black, gray);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, center top, center bottom, from(gray), to(black));
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
body {
background-color: #000000;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 5px;
}
li {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
p {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
padding: 5px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
So any suggestion about how I can delete this margin just above my header?
Here you can see my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>
<title>Lista coupon</title>
<script src="../js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/memoria.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style src="../css/style.css" type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body onload="loadJson();">
<div id="header">
<h1>Lista coupon salvati</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">

<div id="list">

<div id="footer">

</body>
</html>
Set margin: 0; to <h1> element
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5w6Es/
Same problem as with the margin-left of <ul> elements, or margin-top / margin-bottom of <p> elements, etc.
You need to reset their default styles when using them at the borders of your page.
Try removing padding and margin also for the html element, (not only the body)
Try also to remove the default margin (differently) applied by every browser to the h1 element that you didn't redefined/reset and which is probably collapsing over the #header element
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h1 {
...
margin: 0;
}
You need to add margin:0px; to this CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/vv6DL/
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
margin:0px;
}
You don't say what browsers its occuring in.
If you use Firebug and its tools you should be able to see what is causing the spacing and then set that to zero, however, a "cheat" would be to use a reset css script such as Meyers http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ to clean up all those browser inconsistencies.
Try This
h1
{
margin:0px;
}
The best way I've found to do this is by adding the :first-child pseudo-element in your css to your first element such as <h1> or <ul> etc etc within your body-element.
So an example using your mark up above would be
h1:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
This eliminates interfering with all further <h1> elements in your code and also without needless css classes added to your html mark-up.
I hope this helps as I was having the sam problem with little luck with the answers provided.
So I originally created my webpage all in one php file, and all the css styling worked as intended. However, now that I've gone ahead to try to split up the code by putting all the css in its own file, my php page is does not include any of the styling from the css page. I'm sure i've made a simple error, but I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong. The the link to my folder is Computer --> MWebsite --> Login --> login_template.php and css folder ( --> design.css ).
Here's the top of the php page...
login_template.php
<html>
<head>
<title>CarPals</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="design.css">
</head>
<body>
and here's the top of the css page just to show how I have it laid out...

It looks to me that you are just missing the type attribute for the link tag. Try with type="text/css" and see how that goes.
Also, you may want to add the media attribute as well which will help define what type of media this CSS document is for. Here is some information regarding the media attribute
EDIT
Here how Stack Overflow's CSS is included (exact HTML at time of edit):
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/all.css?v=0f0c93534e2b">
EDIT
Further checks that would be worthwhile include doing CSS Validation and if fixing any issues with that doesn't solve your problem, it may be actually accessing the CSS file.
Check that the page you visit in the browser is relative to your CSS document. If the page you are physically accessing in the URL (ie. http://youwebsitehere.com/youPage.php) is not relative to the CSS (as your CSS href is relative - "css/design.css") so you would want to be able to access your CSS via http://youwebsitehere.com/css/design.css
In the style for the body tag you're missing a closing parentheses at the end of the line, that might make the rest of the code invalid.
right after color-stop, the inner nested parentheses.
