CSS - Space Above My Website
At some point, something I did caused my website to have around 400 pixels of white space above it. My site is very simple but I can't seem to figure out the cause. I'm hoping someone can take a look and figure it out.
Thanks for any help, Chris HTML CODE: http://www.bottomtimedesign.com CSS CODE: Code:
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
}
/*defines web page dimensions and centers page */
#pagedimensions {
background-color: #DCDBC9;
border: none;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-top: 0px;

Similar TutorialsI've been trying to get all the space out of IE, tried line-height and all of that, and nothing. Any hack to take out all of the space gaps so I can later on put some small margin? Thanks in advance In the following code...why is there a space between the two div's?? Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style>
#header { background-color: cadetblue; }
#footer { background: blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<p>This is my header.</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>This is my footer.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If I remove the <p></p>'s from each sentence the spacing disappears. If I add a "border: 1px solid black;" to each style the spacing disappears. I don't want to know how to make it go away. I want to know why it's there? I mean shouldn't the paragraphs be fully enclosed inside the div's? Such that no spacing should appear between the div's? Any insight anyone might care to share with me would be most appreciated. Thanks. Carlos Hello, I have a table formatted by CSS within which there are two styles of text, headers and content. I have the content formatted using a class (conftabledetail), with the statement: .conftabledetail {font-size:10px;} I did that to make the content more compact and distinguishable from the headers. I would like to force a space between the paragraphs of content without using a <br> tag. I read that there is an "adjacent selector" which can be used to locate adjacent tags and apply a style, for example p + p {margin-top:1em;}, which would put a 1em space between adjacent paragraphs. Apparently this selector does not work when used against a subclass, because I can't get this statement to work: p + p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} I CAN get this statement to work: p.conftabledetail {margin-top:1em;} But that's not what I want to do. Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to change or do differently? It would also be nice to do this with a <div> tag so I don't have to repeat the class identifier on every <p> tag... Thanks, Chris default template from DW. I get these white gaps and cant get rid of them. Going mad. Any advice for a newbie appreciated. Code and pic...

So I am trying to move from designing in <tables> and move on to the beauty of the CSS box-model design. I have been inspired by one of the ZenGarden designs and wanted to see if I could try and duplicate it's flow. I am running into a problem. I have created the outer box "#mainBox" and nested within this I have a child "#pageHeader." Problem is that there is this big amount of space (that is present in both IE6 AND FireFox 1.0) at the bottom of "#pageHeader." See the attached pic for the exact detail. Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

Thanks in advanced for any help! Hi all, Great forum page with problem, good in firefox, bad in ie, http://www.central12.com/photosmain1.htm The images as displayed in ie appear with a small gap at the bottom of the picture. I have condensed the code, can't figure it, but using lists to layout images is new to me. Would have used individual divs previously, but have seen this technique used and it seems better, less code. I think i'm just missing a simple fix, as images and boxes are set to the same dimensions. The code in the example differs from the code on the uploaded page, been on it for a week still trying to suss it.

Thanks for your time, I expect there are loads of ways I could do it better, your advise is appreciated. Paul Hello, im working on styling an unordered list into a file tree. So far, so good. However, do you see that space that is showing in between each <li>, between the T (elbow2.gif) image, its very unwanted. Code:
/* -- FILE BROWSER -- */
#browseFiles {
padding: 0 0 0 20px;/* 000pix handles indent */
}
#browseFiles ul {
font: 10px sans-serif;
color: #000;
list-style:none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#browseFiles li {
/*display:compact;
height: 18px;*/
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#browseFiles .fileDiv {
height: 18px;
background: url(images/elbow2.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
}
#browseFiles .fileLink {
padding: 0 0 0 13px;
margin: 3px 0 0 0;
}
#browseFiles .dir {
list-style:none;
font: bold 10px sans-serif;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#browseFiles .file {
padding: 0 0 0 3px;
margin:0;
}
Heres the html Code:
<div id='browseFiles'>
<ul>
<li class='file'>
<div class='fileDiv'>

http://cirqueamongus.bdigia.com/main/ http://cirqueamongus.bdigia.com/x.css Page is valid XHTML1.1 and CSS. However, IE 6 causes a space to appear between my header div and my menu divs. Firefox and opera display the page just fine thanks for the help. Also, if you're using IE Mac, it might display funny there, as well. If you can give me information on what's happening there, I would also appreciate it. I'm having problems with a web page not viewing correctly in IE7. Here is a link to the page: test(dot)phoenixit(dot)com(dot)au/GBDGP/index(dot)asp The left and right columns should be level (top) with the centre content area. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ok guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. I am a complete newbie to CSS and web site construction in general. I have a left vertical navigation bar made up of graphics in a div tag that is set to float on the left. I'm having difficulty with the graphics, they have white spaces in between them when viewed in IE. They are supposed to butt up against one another. I have tried setting the margin and padding in that div to 0. I have also seen in other forums where the <li> tag can be placed on the previous line to fix this problem in IE. I haven't even viewed the page on any other browsers yet, can someone help me please? Thanks so much! vonatah http://www.thegi.net/tree/retail.htm I'm taking a Photoshop layout and turning it into HTML for a friend of mine. I just started the HTML process and am having issues right off the bat. NOTE: Pardon the semi-complete markup, I like to make small HTML documents locally to get the pieces to line up correctly and then I merge it with the final document template once it works. If you look at the above link in FireFox you will see everything lines up correctly, but in IE 7 (and maybe other browsers, I haven't gone that far yet) you will see gaps below the top set of divs and above the bottom set of divs. I have tried setting the margins and padding to 0 with no luck. Any ideas? Edit before posting: ACK! I solved it in IE by adding a DOCTYPE. Guess quirks mode made it render stupid. Is there anything I should be aware of here regarding this issue? Any pointers or gotchas I should look out for? I am a hell of a PHP developer, CSS is my weak point =) EDIT AGAIN! I am also going to move the styles into an external sheet once I get it working. Hey guys! My website looks quite good, except for the footer when viewed on IE 6, 7, and 8. The problem is that the footer doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of page, rather leaving a space of about 5 pixels vertically so it doesn't look good. How do I get the footer to go and stay all the way down the page in IE? The footer is only within the <body> div, which has the property: margin: 0. The footer div has the following properties set: .footer { background:#6CBDF0; clear: both; height:45px; padding-top:5px; } So is there any way I could make changes to these elements so that the footer wouldn't leave that annoying white space below it? Thank you very much! PS. I've tried solving this for well over an hour now... I'm working on a web site that has a jFlow slideshow (not implemented just yet) and I was mocking up a page with just a plain img in its place. When the page is viewed in FF 3.5, there is extra space to the right and bottom of the image. However, it shows as expected in IE8. I can't figure this out for the life of me. If I "use border box model" from the Google Web Developer toolbar in FF, it shows as desired as well. Here's a link to the file: http://www.websimage.com/3238/index2.html I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and I'm getting nowhere but frustrated, so any help you could provide would be *greatly* appreciated. EDIT: I've found some information regarding box-models, and have applied the -moz-box-model: border-box; which seems to have eliminated the additional space within the gray div...however, there is an additional 10px of unwanted padding on the right & left of it now. I can live with this, but I don't want to if I don't have to. Edit #2: If I take out the margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (to center it) the extraneous padding is not on the left, but is added to the extraneous padding on the right. All the math adds up when it comes to the widths and padding specified for the respective "wrappers" so I'm at a loss as to what's causing this. http://www.zombiepolitics.com Just when I thought I had this down .. I dont. I have a CSS layout .. there are two main divs side by side, the navigation rests at the top of the right div. problem is in IE 6 there is so much extra space at the top that my navigation doesnt line up with my header .. in FF its no problem. What is the workaround for this? Im trying to change the background color of my news posts for the main page. What I want is to have every second post a darker grey than the one before. In my css file I've added the following lines to accomplish this. Sectiontable1 and 2 beeing the different posts. Code: .sectiontableentry, .sectiontableentry0 { padding: 5px; } .sectiontableentry1 { border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px; background-color: #ffffff; } .sectiontableentry2 { border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px; background-color: #f6f6f6; } The php code look like this(see below) when inspecting it in the browser and I can cleary see that there is a blank space in between the class name and the number. But the problem is I have no clue how I can write that space in css. Cause if I just add a blank space in the css it thinks its another class or rather a standard tag like h1 and it doesnt work. Is there some way to write a space like that in css? Code: <span class=contentpane> <div class=sectiontableentry 1></div> <div class=sectiontableentry 2></div> <div class=sectiontableentry 1></div> /* see there is a space between sectiontableentry and 1*/ </span> I have a couple of divs at the very top of my page spanning the width of the page. In IE-8 the page is displayed as I would like, with no spacing at the top margin above the first div. In FF, there is a giant space about 50 px high. I need to get rid of this space. Below is my css for the top-most div, body, and the html... any ideas? Code:
body {
margin-top: 0px;
font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica;
font-size: 12px;
}
div#top {
margin-top: 0px;
float: left;
