Title: CSS problems Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # CSS problems * [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/) * Well, take a look: [http://test.tripexart.de/](http://test.tripexart.de/) * You see the headerimage and you see the problem I think. I’m trying to get rid of this “border” on top of the headerimage, but no chance. I tried every trick I know. Padding, Margin and so on changes won’t affect the “border” on top of the headerimage. * Any suggestions?

Got it? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287931) * “Got it?” * What was so difficult about a screenshot …………….. ? * Thread Starter [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287932) * You see the link up there? It leads directly into my testblog, where I’m trying to make a new theme for my blog and where you can see the problem live. So for what a screenshot? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287933) * And YOU know what YOU want the theme to look like.

Besides, no header image appears on your test page when I access it…. * Thread Starter [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287935) * Yes and I explained it: I want to get rid of this 6 till 8 px space above the headerimage. These little 6 or 8 px that belongs to the backgroundimage. * As I said: > I’m trying to get rid of this “border” on top of the > headerimage, but no chance. * Sorry when I couldn’t explain it better, but you see the site, you see the headerimage, and maybe you see my problem. But how could I tell better? * (-_-)’ * Headerimage needs some time to load btw, its a ~250kb PNG24 (I don’t mind IE compatibility, I support the “Too cool for IE” campaign. ^^’) * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287936) * Try putting the headerimg in your CSS for starters. And lighten up, this is a all volunteer forum, the more info you provide, or asked for, the easier it is for the people giving of their time to help you. * [shadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadow/) * (@shadow) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287937) * `{ margin: 0 !important; margin: 0px; padding: -5px 5px 5px 5px; height: 164px; width: 770px; }` * I would suggest you play with your padding. It looks like it requires a negative- 5px in your margin but doing that will give you css validation errors. * I agree with milklb – get it into your css file first. * And yes, we all understand frustration but it’s even harder for us if we are not sure of the exact problem to start with. * Thread Starter [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287939) * I know, sorry, but its little bit hrd for me to explain such technical stuff in Englisch. I can understand Englisch in every way, written or spoken, but I have some problems to write down what I mean. Please don’t hit me for this. * Well, as I said, I tried to get the CSS working for the headerimage with the margin and padding values, but nothing works for me at the moment. I would be glad, if someone knows how to get this 6 to 8px padding/margin problem out of the way. I#m little bit helpless for now. (-_-) * The padding: -5px 5px 5px 5px; leads to a funny result, look at the testpage. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287941) * Ah, sorry – I’m on VERY slow dialup, I simply can’t wait around for something that large to load. * Thread Starter [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287942) * Your welcome, me too. 56k dialup sucks, but here we have no other ISP in this region. Well, trying to optimize the imagesize for you. * EDIT: replaced with a 50kb GIF87. * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287943) * Did you try taking out the “bottom” in the headerimg? The current view might only need a little more left padding ,from my view. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287944) * Huh. I’d kill to get over 24k…. * Thread Starter [tripeX](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tripex/) * (@tripex) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/#post-287946) * Hm, to delete “bottom” didn’t work. It must be something else. * What I say now is not my real opinion, but now I hate CSS for the moment. -_- Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘CSS problems’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [margin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/margin/) * [padding](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/padding/) * 22 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * Last activity: [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-problems-2/page/2/#post-287958) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
