causes blank space at top and bottom of page

Permalink
Hey all,

<?php Loader::element('header_required'); ?> and <?php Loader::element('footer_required'); ?> are causing blank spaces at the top and bottom of my pages????

Anyone know what causes this and what I can do?

It could be white space in your html between the end of one php section and the start of another php section.

I just double checked and it is happening anytime I put in PHP on the html sheet. I will look into the css reset. We are using bootstrap

This is the full code for the header and footer

HEADER 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en" class="ie ie9"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type"/>
    <meta name="description" content=""/>
    <meta name="keywords" content=""/>

Just a thought have you got a CSS reset in place, the HTML body tag gets default padding and or margins in most browsers.

Necro, but this is still relevant. The "Loader" class does produce an annoying whitespace character when called in an HTML output file.

Try adding the below code to the "header.php" file, for instance, below the body tag:

Loader::model('user_private_message');


I was fooled, at first, by my CSS. Was using Bootstrap and had ":before" and ":after" on certain selectors with content: " ". However, it was indeed the Concrete5 Loader causing the problem.
