The following HTML display fine.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>Hello</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red;">
            <div>Hello</div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

However, there is a space of around 10 pixel between the left and top edges my div and the browser window.
Is there a way to get rid of it so that the div is “glued” to the browser window?

    You could add CSS to the document….

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Hello</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body { margin:0; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red;">
        <div>Hello</div>
    </div>
</body>

    Or you could add the CSS as an inline style

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0;">
    <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red;">
        <div>Hello</div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

    All browsers have a default margin around the top and left edge of the window. There’s nothing wrong with your page. You merely need to tell the browser to remove the default margins.
