Hello all, I am new to dreamweaver, and I apologize for such a seemingly dumb question... I cant get the topmargin=0 to work in CS4

I have checked the CSS rules for body and container, in fact everywhere i can see that makes sense, and they are all set to 0.. the page looks like it has 0 topmargin in Dreaweaver, but when I preview in a browser, it has a margin! This is driving me crazy, I know it must be something simple...

Here is a cut n paste of the code from my style sheet, maybe someone will notice my error.... I have also set the topmargin=0 in the <body> tag, and it doesn't seem to be working...

Thanks so much in advance!

@charset "UTF-8";
body {
background-color: #000;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 0px;
background-image: url(images/back.gif);
}
#container {
background-color: #FFF;
height: 1200px;
width: 800px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 0px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-right-width: thick;
border-left-width: thick;
}
#header {

What about padding?

Search for reset css to get a little background on this.
