Im a newbie to CSS and created this html file for my testing…but the results are not what I expected..

Here are my questions,

  1. What would be the correct width of my IE window.
  2. What would be the perfect height of my window..When I specify a value nothing changes.
  3. I have created 3 divisions- Header, Footer and content..When I view it..there is a big space between each of these sections..Why do they occur?

Code follows:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            body
            {
                background-color:#d0e4fe;
                width:1400px;
                height:1000px;
            }

            h1
            {
                color:orange;
                text-align:center;
            }

            #div-1
            {
                background-color:red;
            }
            #div-2
            {
                background-color:Green;
            }
            #div-3
            {
                background-color:Blue;
            }


        </style>

    </head>

    <body>

        <div id="div-1">
            <h1>Header<h1>
        </div>

        <div id="div-2">
            <h1>Content<h1>
        </div>

        <div id="div-3">
            <h1>Footer<h1>
        </div>


    </body>
</html>

    First, you don’t define the width or height of the window in CSS. It just doesn’t happen. You may specify the width of particular elements on your page, but that is a slightly different matter. Remove your height and width properties.

    Second, your divisions have spaces between them due to the default margins that are set on h1 tags. If you want to remove them, then set margin: 0 on your h1 in your CSS.
