I'm trying to beat the layout for hn.com's main page into submission and it isn't working. I'm trying to get some elements flush with the top of the browser window, but cannot manage it. I may have to just scrap the cute design I was thinking of and just do something super simple until I can wrap my head around CSS. >.

I could look at it if you want. I'm no pro, but I have a long history of battling CSS.

Haha, I'm probably just trying to do something that you're not supposed to do. I mean, I could do it with tables, but I know that I'm not SUPPOSED to do shit like that with tables anymore and I'm trying to be good and HTML 4.0 compliant. >.o

You should be able to get elements flush with the top of the browser window, though. You can do just about anything imaginable with CSS, though it takes more proficiency than I have to do the really fantastic stuff.

Just let me know if I can help in some way! I look over code for friends all the time, or help out over IM.

What I'm trying to do is create the body of the page and have it take up 500-1000 pixels (sort of elastic) of the screen and hopefully have a 10% margin. I want it to be centered, and I want to have a header and two columns. The header and columns are working fine, but I want the header to be flush with the top, but using the div tag to accomplish this somehow puts a space between the header and the top of the page.
