[RESOLVED] Can't remove margin under header - HTML Forums

Paul · 02-25-2008, 10:48 AM

The following page renders like its supposed to in IE:

But in firefox and probably every other browser I am getting a margin under the main graphic. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? It looks like I am having the exact same issue in a previous design and didn't notice it until now:

Here is the CSS:

Code:

/*
	****DO NOT REMOVE****
	Design from templatesXchange
	http://www.templatesXchange.com
*/
body {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    background-color:#323232;
    background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

a:link { 
	color: #FFFFFF;
	}
a:visited { 
	color: #FFFFFF;
	}
a:hover { 
	color: #762e2e;
	}
a:active { 
	color: #762e2e;
	}

#container {
    width:773px;
    margin: 0px auto 0 auto;
 }
#container_footer {
    width:773px;
    margin: 0px auto 0 auto;
}

#logo {
	width: 298px;
	height: 62px;
	margin-top: 16px;
    background-image: url(images/logo.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    float: left; 
 }
#top_nav {
	width: 375px;
	height: 20px;
	float: right;
	margin-top: 0px;
	padding-top: 45px;
}

#top_nav ul {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    list-style:none;
 }
#top_nav li {
    float:right;
 }
#top_nav a {
    width:70px;
    text-align:center;
    display:block;
    padding:10px 0px 0px 0px;
    margin-right:1px;
    text-decoration:none;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-weight: bold;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
 }
#top_nav a:hover {
    color:#f9a726;
    font-weight: bold;
 }
#splash {
	width: 773px;
	height: 219px;
    background-image: url(images/splash.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    clear: both;
}
#nav_2 {
	height: 56px;
	background-color: #000000;

	font-size: 10px;
}
#my_copyright {
	float: left;
	margin-top: 8px;
}
#tXc_copyright {
	float: right;
	
}
img.txc_logo {
	margin: 0px 0px -7px 0px;
	border: 0;
}
#left_nav {
	float: left;
	width: 298px;
	
}
#left_nav h1 {
	width: 284px;
	height: 32px;
	background-color: #d38d1e;
	font-family: verdana;
	font-size: 14px;

	padding-left: 14px;
}
#left_nav ul {
    margin-left: 0px;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
 }
#left_nav li {
    
 }
#left_nav a {
	margin-left: 16px;
    width:242px;
    text-align:left;
    display:block;
    padding: 19px 00px 0px 20px;
    height:30px;
    background-image:url(images/left_bullet.gif);
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size:12px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: Verdana;
    color:#000;
 }
#left_nav a:hover {
    color:#622000;
    font-weight: bold;
 }


#content {
	float: right;
	width: 445px;
	padding: 10px;
	text-align: justify;
	color: #dcdcdc;
	font-family: Verdana;
	font-size: 12px;
}
#content h1 {
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bold;
}
img.picture1 {
	float: right;
	padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;
}
.clearing {height:0;clear:both}

I keep getting further along with each new css design I do but it seems like I hit some kind of road block each time.

There was some extra padding around the <h1> elements.

One way of solving the problem is to append the following:

Code:

padding:0;
margin:0;

to the following blocks;

Code:

#left_nav h1 { ... }  /*and*/
#content h1 { ... }

The margin: 0; fixed it. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I still don't really understand what was pushing it down. I don't have a bottom margin defined anywhere above.

Paul,
Sorry, I coppied an pasted the code (I've corrected the error in my previous post).

These values are added by default.

Cheers,
YMas
