Html: White Space Around Elements, How To Remove?

My webpage contains several divs. Some are set to width: 100%, so they fill the whole page width. But at the top of the page there is a small whitespace before the first element sh

Solution 1:

You must remove the margin on body:

body {
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}

You can also remove padding and margin on html and body

html, body {
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}

See it on jsfiddle

But I would not advise to use * (the universal selector)

* {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}

This would remove padding and margins on all elements.

Solution 2:

The good method is to always use at the begining of the file (I forgot to metion this):

*{
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}

This two line's at the begining of main CSS file fix many problem's that you can encounter. Hope it'll help you.
