Errot Fix | Zero Padding to Rid Unwanted Space

Working on subpages for the NS project, I decided to build my own html page with divs instead of a Photoshop generated table layout. But I couldn't get rid of this unwanted top space, even after setting the margins to zero. (didn't have this problem with table layout)

Padding the body at zero solved my problem. To be on safe side by default zero your margins & padding to avoid undesirable spaces that you didn't specify. The following code sets my layout to "zero" by getting rid of any unwanted spaces brought about by the browser. Note the auto margin in the outer div also centers the layout (see previous post). Need to start every new web page with this basic code to avoid headaches!

body {
padding: 0; 

margin: 0;
background-color: #D66D29;
}
#wrapper {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1200px;
}
