CSS Margin Help.

[Peeeeeeeeeeynk]

I'm a newbie when it comes to CSS so I came here for help:D

 

The problem is when I place backgrounds in my divs I always have that thin white space on the edge of my HTML and I even set all my margins to 0. any help?

Could you give us some of your code where this occurs? Do you mean a thin white space on the top of the page?

at the top of your css document you have to put this piece of code to remove the normal margins and default styling

*{}

You should have a look at normalize.css, import that stylesheet before your main one and it will properly "reset" some of the elements' styling to what it should be.
