how to align DIV tag centrally without distrubing horizantal alignment

[shah]

Hi,

I have a little problem here. When i try to central align div tag witin a page using STYLE

margin:0 auto; 

it automatically puts some vertical pixels. for example if i put a div within a div tag, and use the above code, it will central align it horizontally but will leave some vertical margin before it starts the new div tag.

 

shortly when ever i use the

.header {
height: 101px;
width: 842px;
background-color: #F33;
}

it will align the header horizontally but it will always leave some vertical space  (that is top:0 or margin-top:0) will not work whatever i do. kindly help me regarding this problem.

Well, in my stylesheets, I tend to first wipe out all margins, padding and borders with this declaration:

 

html,body,div,div *{margin:0;padding:0;border:0}

 

It has made a difference for me in site construction. Without it, I have had small display issues, and with it added, it fixed it. Try adding that snippet to your stylesheets and see if that helps.
