Hello! I can realise there's a whitespace above the paragraph element. I know that "margin-top: 0;" fixes it, but I want to use <li> and for it to start at the very top of the browser like a little fixed navigation bar.

The body also has a default margin and back in the day padding. The unordered list comes with its own margin and padding as well, so to be safe you'd strip them all and then add back as needed. Probably something like this should get you on the right track:
body {
margin:0;
padding:0
}
ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}
li {
display:inline-block;
padding:10px;
}

Courses Plus Student 3,851 PointsHello, Damien, thanks for replying. I've tried your code but the list items continue to stay a space below the top html. If I try a paragraph or h2 element, I am able to reset the margin and padding, however, list items are not working.
