    Lose browser viewport head space

    Hello

    IE 7.0.5730.11
    Opera 9.27
    Firefox 2.0.0.14

    I'm trying to display my root div hard up under the address bar/tab bar
    in the viewport

    position:absolu te works but breaks the centering style
    (margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;)

    I've tried all sorts of things with negative pixel values (padding,
    border, margin etc etc) but each browser seems to use a different number
    of pixels of white space so the results vary. I seem to remember doing
    this years ago with tables but I've just forgotten.

    FWIW I'm going with
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    TIA

      Just set html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0}.

      It's usually an 8px margin on body, but might as well set all possible
      culprits to 0 to be sure.

          Ah, yes, of course (looks sheepish). Thanks

          Opera still seems to display a 1px border/margin under the adress bar
          but the other two are perfect.

          Thanks
