background graphic in wrapper DIV adding unwanted margin

Hello,

i am creating a page and have everything looking the way i want it in IE,
however in Mozilla Firefox, a 25-50px margin has been added to the top of my
background graphic which i have placed in a wrapper div. I have all the
margins for the body set to 0px, the margins for the wrapper div set to 0px and
the background positioning set to top. Is there something i might be missing
that is adding this extra space? The wrapper div is the first division inside
the body tag.

add padding: 0; to the body css

body {
padding: 0;
}

I tried to add the padding, nothing happened. I still have the gap between the top of the page and the content.

Can you link to the page because the answer is in the code and we would
need to see it to further assist you.

It may well be a margin on some other element in you page like a p tag
or h tag


Add this at the end of your css and see if the gap goes. If it does then
its a margin/padding on something in your page.

* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}


If it doesn't it could still be an inline style causing the issue.

And a background image can never add any layout constraints to a page, for
what it's worth.
