2,709 PointsHeader and nav elements overflowing.
Hi everyone,
I've been going through my second run-through of Nick's 'How to Build a Website' beginner tutorial, and along the way have been tinkering and altering a few things to make it more customized.
It's been going pretty well so far, the only thing I noticed was a very weird overlapping of the background colors of the header and the nav at the top...which I can't seem to diagnose.
Any help would be very much appreciated...I'm sure it's something simple my eyes just can't see :)

2,709 PointsHi Saskia,
I probably should have mentioned that haha. I just want the background color of the nav to be the last thing that separates the header from the rest of the body, but right now the header background is leaking below the nav background.

nav {
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 20px 0 0; }
This will remove the bottom margin.

5,673 PointsWhat is it exactly that you want to change? What exactly is the desired result? Do you want the nav at the top to be placed below the header? Or merely remove the nav's background color?
