im new to designer talk so far i think its very usefull for people like me ... so i hope someone please responds.. but anyway..
..How would i go about making like my header or top image apear close to the top instead of it looking as if in the html code there is a space or somthing in the first line. ..here is an example of a site with a header/top image that i want to be able to do with mine.. ( which is make it appear as close to the top of the browser url bar as possible instead of there being a blank spot. )

what i want it to look like > http://www.sba.gov/

what i dont want it to look like > http://www.business.com/

( pay no mind to the content of the site its just for an example.)

well anyways someone PLEASE respond or IM me please.

What you need to set is the margins for the entire HTML document:

HTML Code:

<body topmargin="0" marginheight="0">

The corresponding parameters for the left/right margins are:

HTML Code:

<body leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0">

So to put it all together for a header that will touch the top of the browser and stretch completely left to right:

HTML Code:

<body topmargin="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="'0" marginwidth="0">

You can thank browser (in)compatability for having to enter it two different ways!

There's only one body tag in an html document. Typical start of a page looks like this:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
  <title>Hello<title>
  <meta...>
  <link...>
  <script...>
</head>

<body topmargin="0" marginheight="0">
html stuff
</body>
</html>

So just add those parameters to the body tag you hopefully already have in your html document.

html, body {
margin: 0;
}
