[Delicious] weird Home-Bottom boxes topmargin ??

[BoblebadParticipant Post count: 32]

Hi

I’m trying to tweak the Delicious theme in a way that fits my project, and are having problems with something that looks like a margin or padding issue, but when using Firebug, i does not show up as either one ??

I want the padding to be the same on all four sides, but i can’t get the top to fit-in, what’s giving the extra 15px at the top ??

That is coming from the top margin being applied to the h2 heading. Browsers apply their own defaults unless you declare a rule to override them. E.g. in Chrome a margin of .83 em is applied.

Thanks for your answer SoZo

So what you’re saying is that i need to take control of h2 to get rid of the space above the title text ??

Is there a site where all these differences to be aware of, from browser to browser, is listed ??

And also, what if i want to change the h2 to h4, can’t seam to figure out where to do this ??

And only for the Home-Bottom boxes, i can see that the h2 i used all over the site, so a class for the bottom boxes is needed or ??

You can’t change the heading tags. You can add a rule to target those particular h2 tags however.

And how do i do that the correct way ??

Do you mean how do you add a new style rule? If so you need to read up on CSS specificity.

I’m not that much into CSS yet, and are not sure where exactly to do this, everything i do to the Home-Bottom section, have an effect on the background instead of the title ..

Are you using h2 in your selector, i.e. .home-bottom h2

Not if it isn’t default, i think i tried something like it, but it didn’t turn out as expected ..
