can't get rid of this white space

What is causing the white space at the top of the scrolling content area?

Cheers

Nothing too obvious at first glance - but you might cut and paste from

your style sheet so we could have a look at that. (I probably don't
need to say don't *attach it - just cut and paste on a reply.)

Why do you insist on telling my browser that it's scroll bar can only
be used for what YOU want?
In FF 2 the right scroll begins below the header, not the top of the
page as it should. If you want to scroll a certain area, then you
provide that scroll with overflow.

So where did you fail to see overflow: auto; on the div that contains the
scroll bar that is part of that div and *not* the windows scroll bar?

The division itself did not scroll as intended.
Most likely due to the fact that in "body" he says overflow:hidden.
Which causes any other overflows to be totally useless.
Which then diverts the scroll function to the browser itself.


Furthermore, he's using position absolute to place the divisions
instead of using float.

html {
height:100%;
max-height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border:0px;
background:#fff;
overflow: hidden;
}

Is this guy serious? What purpose does this serve?


body {
height: 100%;
max-height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border:0px;
}

Yeah right. Ok so my browser window is 100px by 100px.
I"m gonna see one screwed up page.

Do not go back in time and do this. <g>

Actually, I would say not to do this at all. But there is something that
is helpful sometimes when including a URL: the CSS in the head, (at
least if it is not too long) so that it is easy to inspect in View
Source.
