    I have a repeating background on my HTML tag, and then a centered image on my body tag. However when I do the background on the HTML tag I get a 17px space at the top. Even with margin and padding set to 0 on the HTML tag. When I remove the BG it goes away. Any ideas what might cause this?

    Do you have a link? It sounds like a margin somewhere else in the document is pushing it down.

    I figured out it was a h1 i had first thing. If I add any margin or padding, it forces the body down. Seems odd to me. Shouldn’t the body always be at the top?

    I can’t remember the cases that it happens in, but it has something to do with what the h1 is ‘pushing up against’.
