css positioning standard

**alexdog1805** · 02-28-2010, 07:13 PM

for example if i have an index.html:

<div id="banner"><center><img src="image way"></center></div>

and a style.css with

#banner{padding:0;tp:0}

why doesn't the browser do't listen and it doens't put the image on top=0 and it pun standard posotion 5px above?

Hi there alexdog1805,

it has probably slipped your memory but the body element is one of the elements that has a default margin.

This code example will achieve the effect that you require....

Code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="language" content="english"> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">

<title></title>

<style type="text/css">
body {
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
 }
#banner img {
    display:block;
    width:324px;
    height:200px;
    margin:auto;
    background-color:#999;
 }
</style>

</head>
<body>

<div id="banner">
<img src="image-way.jpg" alt="">
</div>

</body>
</html>

Hi there alexdog1805,

does somebody knows?

from the minimal information that you have supplied, it is almost impossible to know what you're problem is.

Do you have a link to the site in question?

well the problem is that if I do like coothead told me it is ok...it appears on top:0 but if I want to put another photo or text for example at top:100px it doesn't listen and it appears next above to image banner.
