I have this weird white space at the top of my HTML/CSS project that I can't get rid of. How do I get rid of the whitespace? It can be seen without even using the normalize.css file, although I've set margin and padding to 0 in normalize.css so that isn't the issue. I've made a JSsnippet here which may be easier to follow.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: baseline;
background: transparent;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Here is the HTML/CSS code to my project:

I'm also using normalize.css with a the tweaks to make formatting across browsers synonymous:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: baseline;
background: transparent;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
