white area at top of preview

I’m guessing that this has been answered somewhere, but the search brings results that are years out of date or irrelevant.

There is a 15 px tall white area at the top of the page that sits above the 0 mark and pushes the contents down when previewed. Scrolling down hides it, stopping when the header hits 0px. I can’t find anything on the page that could cause it.

Can we see the page in question online somewhere?

There is a lot of difficult and problematic stuff going on with this page,
but the culprit of the top whitespace is incorrect markup inserted on the
page:

 </head>
 <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/Resources/apple-touch-icon.png" />

The link code should be inserted BEFORE instead of AFTER. This
should clear out that space between the browser top and the top of your
page.

Best,

I dont think the link tag itself was doing it.

Rather the non-breaking space at the end of it - but it shouldn’t be there anyway!

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href=" resources="" apple-touch-icon.png" ="">&nbsp;

I have no idea where =“”>  came from. What I pasted in (and I’m looking at it right now) is:

Pasted from where?

If you copy/pasted from an online source you may have picked up an invisible.

Best to copy from source and paste into a plain text editor and then recopy/paste into FW to sanitise it.

Most text editors will offer a plain text mode and you shouldn’t be using RTF or anything else for this.

Freeway Pro also does some weird things with returns and such in the Markup
dialogs. I try to keep the code in there pretty tight, and usually use a
text editor like TextMate so I can see when an “invisible” or non-standard
character sneaks in.
