body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This is called a 'reset' and you can find a lot of reset stylesheets on the web, here is one of the most popular : http://meyerweb.com/
But it might not be your issue. If this doesn't work, could you post a screenshot of your page so we can precisely spot your problem.
Sorry if my english isn't really good, it isn't my native tongue :)
