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">
<p>Di seguito trovi tutte le promozioni salvate</p>
<div id="list">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</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.

I just switched from VSC to Adobe Dreamweaver and i don't know if I should keep it or not; but that's besides the point.
When I try to add a background to some text, it fills the whole screen with the background with the background, and if I try to change the width it only adds on to the background which is filling the whole screen.
I don't know if it's user error, something changed in HTML/CSS overnight or if it's because of the Dreamweaver display box thing on the top of my screen
#charset "utf-8";

p.s: let me know if you need a ss of the results I get.
Instead of using the class, you can change the texts background color by adding
background-color: rgb(255, 236, 139)
in the h1 tag
Demo:
YOURTEXT
It should work as expected if you apply the css to the H1 tag:
.Container h1{}
You have used padding property incorrectly. Reference
Correct syntax: padding: top right bottom left
padding:0 50% 0 50%;
So the css should be:
.Container{ margin: 0; }
.Container h1{
padding:0 50% 0 50%;
font-family: comfortaa;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 600;
color: white;
background: #00C3FF;
}
Question:
How do I style different elements of a HTML website properly? I've looked all over the internet and read books but am still sort of struggling.
Issue:
My problem is that I have a main heading, which is like the main "title" for my website which displays the website name, but to the left of my heading, I want to style a vertical navigation bar which will be in-line with my heading. Yet I am having trouble styling the navbar and heading to work next to each other, rather than one of them being on top of the other.

Finally, I am very new to stack overflow, so I apologise if my question is not fully detailed. I will answer questions if there are any. Thanks for your kind help.
Like mentioned in the comment you can use float: left see this pen http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bpWzeK?editors=1100. Another way to do it is by using flex.
you can add class or id attributes to certain html tags and then in your stylesheet reference that class or id
->.navbar{
}
that references any tag with "navbar" class will get the style in that block
->#thisIsAnID{
}
that references any tag with the id " thisIsAnID" id
so . is used for classes
is used for ids
I have been working with CSS and HTML to create basically a banner and navbar. I've been trying to get it to stick to the very top, but after I saw it in chrome, I noticed both the body tag and the HTML tag are detatched. I've tried removing all the margins and padding from every single part that could be responsible for the space, but I couldn't get rid of it. What is a good way to do this?
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style/normalize.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Demo</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS code:
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.wrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
nav
{
text-align: left;
}
nav ul
{
list-style: none;
/*margin: 0 10; corrected*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
nav li
{
display: inline-block;
}
nav a
{
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px;
font-size: 1em;
}
Screenshot (as requested):
I tried every solution here and nothing really worked, mainly because I don't have navigation in my simple page or a header.
What worked for me was using the universal selector like this:
*, html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
4 years later, hope it helps someone.
2 years later - I just solved a similar problem - I had extra spaces.
Try removing the blank spades before your first (it's indented with spaces or a tab in the code)
I had a similar problem just now and i resolved with
header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
You can use this code snippet
body{
margin: 0%;
}
for more information please refer to the given website:
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp
You can remove the space using below code
nav ul {
list-style: outside none none;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
Sorry to ask the same question many before me have asked... I have read lots of these and they all say change
margin: 0;
There is a gap between the two divs (div class ="heady" and div class="menus") I just can't seem to get rid of the white space, hopefully it is clear enough, let me know if its not.
Thanks James.

Here is a link to a jsFiddle.
Browsers apply default styles to ceratin elements. In this case it's ul that gets some margin. Note that this margin separates the divs even though the divs themselves have no margins.
Use
ul { margin: 0; }
or include a reset stylesheet
Are you using the Firebug plugin for Firefox? Even if you don't already use firefox, you should download it along with the firebug plugin. With Firebug you can look at an element in your source code and see the styles that are being applied, the layout (width/height, padding, margin), and even manipulate the styles to view what a change in your CSS would do.
I HIGHLY recommend it!
Download Firefox
Download Firebug
.heady { display:block; }
.heady { margin:0; padding:0; }
.heady { line-height:100%; /* or even 0 (if no text present) */ }
the content can fool here, but 1 or all 3 of those should tame the beast across browsers.
google for a "css reset" too
I'm very new to html and css so feel free to critique any bad practices you see in the code below...
I am trying to create a centered column that's 800 pixels across and the banner will be resized to 800 pixels. When view this page in chrome or firefox it looks great. When I view it in IE8 the font is huge, there is a giant empty spot on the right side of the banner all the way down to the bottom, and the size of the "container" will not change no matter what I do in the css file.
CSS:
body {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: small;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(../images/victorianBackground.jpg);
background-position: top;
background-repeat: repeat;
color: #000000;
}
#container {
margin: -10 auto;
background-color: #D3CDBA;
text-align: left;
}
html>body #container {
width: 800px;
min-height:800px;
padding: 0 0px;
}
#banner {
width:800px;
}
#banner img {
width:800px;
padding:45 0px;
}
#content {
width:500px;
padding: 15px;
background-color: transparent;
}
/* Navigation */
#navigation ul {
list-style-type: none;
width: 800px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

There are multiple issues I see with your source. Non-exhaustive list:
1) You need a doctype. Otherwise, browsers will render items in a non-standard way.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
2) You have a <div> ending after the </body> tag. This is invalid.
Fix:
<p>Awesome Content </p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
3) You don't need the extra <br> in <div id="banner">.
Fix:
<div id="banner">
<img src="../images/banner.jpg" id="banner">
</div>
4) Now, if you want <div id="container"> to be centered and have a width of 800px, try the following.
Centering code that goes in your css (replaces existing):
body { text-align: center; }
#container {
text-align: left;
width: 800px;
margin: auto;
}
5) For your font-size declaration, you're using small. This will behave unpredictably. Instead, consider using either em or px for font size.
Font size with em:
body { font-size: 100%; line-height: 1.125em; }
#container { font-size: 0.875em; }
Font size with px:
body { font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.125em; }
#container { font-size: 12px; }
First thing I saw, you need to add this to the very first line of your HTML to force IE to render in standards mode, instead of quirks mode:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
In regard to centering the banner, try adding the following:
in body selector:
text-align: center;
in banner:
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
In regard to font size try using em or % sizing.
Other than that just tackle the problems one at a time, fine tune the details incrementally. Throwing in everything all at once will only create confusion - chances are it wont work as expected, but will frustrate you.
