Why won't vB allow to make my header flush with the page?

[kau]

When I try to make a header be flush with the edge of my page vB adds an auto gap so it won't be flush up against the edges.

How do I stop this? I want my header to be absolutely flush with the edges of the page and not have a small gap there.

Not sure what you are talking about specificly, can we see a link to your site ? :)

Try to add something like margin:0px or margin-left:0px in the CSS definition for the body tag.

[Zachery]

Actually Im guessing its that nastly little

  popping up again :) which is in my List of FAQs :)

There is no CSS definition.

I have the page working in textpad/IE however when I load the HTML into the vB header slot it makes the left and right margin gap a little.

Without an example there isn't much we can do but guess.

I do not see the vBulletin copyright on your page, am I overlooking it or have you removed it?

There is no CSS definition.
Of course there is.
Admin CP -> Style Manager -> (Choose your Style) -> Edit "Main CSS" -> Body.

You have quite abit of very malformed HTML in your header template. Which I am guessing is part of the Issue.

[kau]

Nope it was the CSS.

Why is it malformed?

[Icheb]

You want to have no border between the edge of the page and the logo? Do I understand that correctly? If there is no other code interfering, my code will solve your problem.

You had an ungodly ammount of malformed html, it took me 15 min to clean up your code.

You had a superfluous ammount of whitespacing where there should not have been whitespacing, on one line you had all single quotes instead of double quotes (' instead of ")

You had tags where you properly quoted attribute values and others where you did not.

You had badly nested font tags and double nested tags which did not need to be there, or were repeated.

You should take a look at w3schools.com for coding standards, vBulletin is done in all XHMLT 1.0 Tras.
