Margin problems...

[jhatter]

Hi,

Iam having problem with a margin and I can't figure out what the problem is. The gap between the nav bar & the purple box should be 10px, but when I view in Safari or FF it is more like 60px.

I think I need a fresh pair of eyes to look at this.

Thanks in anticipation of your replies.

body { background: #000000; }

#container { width: 980px; background: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; }
	
#homebox { margin-top:10px; width: 980px; height: 777px; background-color: #af8798; }	

#hometext { position: relative; top: 0px; left: 48px; width: 800px; text-decoration: none; font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #ffffff; vertical-align: top; font-size: 60px; }

p.introtext1 {text-decoration: none; font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 80px; letter-spacing: 6px; color: #ffffff; font-style: italic; width: 780px; vertical-align: top; }

<div id="container">

<div style="margin-top:10px; background:#600F31; height:30px;">
    <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
       <td width="11%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="index.html" class="bianco">Home</a></td>
        <td width="13%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="food.html" class="bianco">Food</a></td>
        <td width="13%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="wine.html" class="bianco">Wine</a></td>
        <td width="19%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="cooking.html" class="bianco">Cooking Classes</a></td>
        <td width="19%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="walking.html" class="bianco">Walking</a></td>
        
        <td width="10%" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="more.html" class="bianco">..More</a></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
    
<div id="homebox">
  <div id="hometext">
    <p class="introtext1">Bespoke</p>
    <p> food, wine &amp; walking</p>
  </div>
</div>

</div>

Try setting margin:0; on #hometext and p.introtext1 (paragraphs come with, amongst other things, their own default margins in different browsers)

On my machine, the gap is too big with all browsers.
You should set margin-top:-60px on #homebox.

Thanks Beverley, that sorted the problem.
