Unwanted Margin Between Element - Unable to Remove

67 views Asked by At

There is a large 'white-space' between my 'DIV: IMAGE' and 'DIV: SLIDER' that I cannot account for. I cannot see that I have coded a margin between the two elements and no matter what I seem to do to my stylesheet, I cannot remove it.
What part of the code is causing this? And what clean solutions are there? Many Thanks.

.wrap {
  margin: 0px auto;
  width: 80%;
  margin-top: 10px;
  padding: 3em 0em;
  position: relative;
  color: #FFF;
}
.image {
  background-image: url("http://www.thestrandnyc.com/d/main/media/Destination/__thumbs_1200_700_crop/NY_City.jpg");
  background-size: 110% 100%;
  padding: 0px 0px 210px 0px;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
.slider {
  padding: 2em 0em;
  background-color: #F4F4F4;
  position: relative;
  height: 200px;
  margin: 0px auto;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
.slider p:first-child {
  color: #fff;
  background: #35AFBA;
  font-size: 2.8em;
  font-weight: 900;
  border-radius: 100%;

  margin: 0em 0em 0em 1.2em;

div.slider is inside div.wrap, which has a margin-top and a padding. They cause the gap, and removing them will solve that.

You .wrap element has padding of 3em and margin-top of 10px, try removing those 2 css rules and there should be no more white-space.
