Eliminating white space at bottom of page

Question

Originally I had a background image that appeared as a gradient background. Wanting to have a solid black backgound I removed link to background image/repeat x. The result is a large white space at bottom of page. I have searched quite a few answers to this common problem but none have helped me figure this out.

This is an .php site so if there is an html .div then I cannot find it but in css stylesheet it just reads as #top-bg with background: #000000

I have tried adding in height: 100%; not sure where to adjust margins as recommended by some sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

body, html{
    padding:0!important; 
    margin:0 !important;

    background:#000;//is this what you want?
}

There were 2 separate sections above top-bg. One named html and the other body. Both already had magin 0 and padding 0 so I added background and height as you suggested above and it worked! Thank you SO much!

Glad I could help, body and html does have 100% height by default we need to set it. Also please mark my answer as correct answer :)

Thanks, that immportant and doing it as a css reset on * is what got me going!
