Hi Parker. It sounds like you might have a padding setting in place that could potentially be causing the issue.

try this: select your css rule and set your padding properties to "0"

.example-div { padding: 0; }

If this is not the issue, try pasting an example of your code here so we can have a look. I hope this helps~ -Sean

Please post your HTML / CSS code, it will be much easier to pinpoint the issue that way :)
