I have the following CSS with HTML:
body {
margin: 0;
}
header {
background: #ccc;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header .header-container {
padding: 20px;
}
header ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
header li {
display: inline;
padding: 0 15px;
}
.mainbox {
background: #eee;
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 700px;
}
.childbox {
background: #ddd;
height: 100%;
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.childbox h1 {
margin: 10px;
}
<header>
<div class="header-container">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Product</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</header>
<div class="mainbox">
<div class="childbox">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</div>
</div>
Now the problem is that the h1
element pushed it's container down because it has a margin. How can I apply this margin within the container only, so that it does not move the whole container down?
