[SOLVED] The header came down a bit in the contact page when copied the code from the about page.

Why is that happening even though they share the same css file ?

Hey Anton Bozhinov, I edited your post so that the code would render properly. Be sure to refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet when posting code and/or save this image for reference:

By the way, I haven't seen a responsive.css file used in this course. Your normalize file should have taken care of removing all of the default styles placed by the browser so that each page will look the same if they have the same code.

Hi Anton,

I added a universal style - 

* {
margin: 0; padding: 0;
}

And it worked for me. It's a good method to use in each project to remove the default margin and padding added to things.

Hope that solves it,

Ede

As a side note, be sure to put this universal selector as the very top most selector in your CSS so that you won't override any margins and/or padding you write into your document.

Thanks Marcus for the tip about Markdown Cheatsheet. It's still my first week on treehouse and I didn't know that.

I putted the universal selector at the very top of the main.css as Marcus said, but that didn't do the job.

I posted the question and continued with the next course, that's why the responsive.css is included,but it's still blank.

P.S It's impressive how quickly you get a response here! Thanks for taking newbies seriously!

Luckily, the place where I work puts me in front of a computer for a majority of the day so I can have time to help out. But, a lot of fellow students are eager to help out, and that makes this forum quite wonderful indeed. :)

I haven't had time today, though, to take a good, solid look at your code. I will take a look at it when I get a chance and get back to you if you haven't figured it out.

Hi Marcus,

Hmm, that's strange. Have you tried copying back the code that Marcus had formatted for you? As I noticed in your original you had missed the body and head tags.

Hope that's fruitful!

Actually, I didn't do anything to the code he had besides wrap within 3 backticks. The problem is that when you don't wrap code here on the forums, certain tags will look as though they are missing, even though they aren't. All of the code you see there is what he copied and pasted in.

I deleted the contact.html file and rewrite it again. The problem is solved, but the mistery remains :)

Yep, these things happen. Glad you got it sorted anyway. It's most likely to have been a small typo or error.
