Hello,

I have a header div as the first element in my wrapper div, but when I add a top margin to a h1 inside the header div it pushes the entire header div down. I realize this happens whenever I apply a top margin to the first visible element on a page.

Here is a sample of the css. Thanks!

    div#header{
    width: 100%;
    background-color: #000;
    position: relative;
}

    div#header h1{
        text-align: center;
        width: 375px;
        height: 50px;
        margin: 0 auto;
        font-size: 220%;
        text-indent: -5000px;
        background: url('../../images/name_logo.png') no-repeat;
    }

html part

<div id="header">
    <h1><a href="/home.php">Title</a></h1>
    <ul id="navbar">
