trying to get my first HTML/CSS uni assignment sorted but have become a bit stuck on this. My body tag doesn’t sit at the top of the page. I can ensure it does by giving it a negative margin, but I shouldn’t need to do that, right? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

<body>
<!--begin container -->
<div id="navigationContainer">
<!-- begin navigation bar -->
<div id="navigationBar">

<li><a class="logo" href="index.html">PhotArt</a></li>
<li><a class="active" href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Create your art</a></li>

There are a few other paragraphs after this but I doubt the html is causing any issues.
And then the CSS looks like this:
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
}
#navigationContainer {
background-color: #2f2f38;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#navigationBar {
padding: 0em 0em 10em 0em;
background-color: #2f2f38;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#navigationBar ul {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
padding: none;
}
#navigationBar li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
font: 1em "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#navigationBar .active {
color: #ffffff;
}
#navigationBar .logo {
font: 3.5em "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #fcfcfc;
}
#navigationBar li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #a6a4a4;
margin-right: 30px;
}
#navigationBar li a:hover,
#navigationBar li a:active {
color: #ffffff;
}
You need to edit your CSS and add margin-top: 0px; to navigation bar:
