hi
im pretty new to web development. I’m having a shot at building a personal website without tables using XHTML1.1 and CSS.

When previewed in IE my site looks fine, but when I view my site with firefox or opera I get spaces between my header, main body and footer.

Please help me fix this problem.

Below are the links to my homepage and css file for my homepage

Thanks,
Wayne

@GonzagaJun 02.2006 — Add that section after the body declaration in your CSS file to remove all unwanted margins and paddings ... then define them where you want them.

You might also want to download the web developer toolbar for firefox where you can change the CSS on the fly and watch it's effects.

body * {

margin: 0px;

padding: 0px;

}
