Why is there a blank line at the top of my web page?

I noticed that removing the div, or removing the doctype fixes the problem…

    It is because Tinkerbin is getting confused.

    If you put your HTML into a file it works fine. In Tinkerbin, the following happens in the preview:

    <body>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <div>
    kjkj
    </div>
</body>

    I presume it is removing some tags such as <html>, <head> and <body> when outputting your page in order to display inside a page created for the preview.
