When I am clearing an element in Firefox4,it goes to the next line leaving some spacing in between and in IE7, it goes to the next line without leaving any space..

Most browsers now have a default margin-top and margin-bottom greater than zero for p elements. Internet Explorer doesn't.
Adding p { margin: 0; } to your styles will fix it.

Here is my html code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<div>
kjkj
</div>
</body>
</html>

Why is there a blank line at the top of my web page?
I noticed that removing the div, or removing the doctype fixes the problem...
It is because Tinkerbin is getting confused.
If you put your HTML into a file it works fine. In Tinkerbin, the following happens in the preview:
<body>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<div>
kjkj
</div>
</body>
I presume it is removing some tags such as <html>, <head> and <body> when outputting your page in order to display inside a page created for the preview.
When I zoom in in IE7, the element with position relative gets overlapped..How can I fix this?

<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block1">A</div>
<div class="block2">B</div>
<div class="block3">C</div>

I tries adding zoom:1 to .block1 also but it didn't work
.block1 {
zoom: 1 ;
}
Try something like this, Hope this helps.

<body>
<div id="parent">
<p height="100px" width="100px">text</p>

Add overflow: hidden to your #parent div

I have an element with a width 200px.It has a left and right padding of 100px each. In IE7,IE8 and firefox 4,it appends the padding to the elements width.However, In IE Quirks mode, the padding is not appended and the width remains 200px.How can I fix this?

By not using quirks mode. Quirks mode uses a broken box model, so this is expected behavior of that rendering mode.
You're already using standards mode with a proper doctype declaration; what's causing quirks mode to be triggered on IE?
