CSS parallax effect. How to change the top margin


I'm trying to deal with this example of parallax effect on CSS. How can I change / remove the space between the first image and the top edge of the page? I am "playing" with the code for a long time but have not yet figured it out.

/* ============================================================
  PRIMARY STRUCTURE
============================================================ */
.container {
  max-width: 960px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
/* ============================================================
  SECTIONS
============================================================ */
section.module:last-child {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
section.module h2 {
  margin-bottom: 40px;
  font-family: "Roboto Slab", serif;
  font-size: 30px;
}
section.module p {
  margin-bottom: 40px;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: 300;
}
section.module p:last-child {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
section.module.content {
  padding: 40px 0;
}
section.module.parallax {
  height: 600px;
  background-position: 50% 50%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-size: cover;
}
section.module.parallax h1 {
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
  font-size: 48px;
  line-height: 600px;
  font-weight: 700;
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  text-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
section.module.parallax-1 {
  background-image: url("http://www.fonstola.ru/pic/201112/2560x1600/fonstola.ru-63832.jpg");
}
section.module.parallax-2 {
  background-image: url("http://hdoboi.net/uploads/hd/95263_krasivyiy_osenniy_peyzaj.jpg");
}
section.module.parallax-3 {
  background-image: url("http://drobs.ru/opyat/8/peyzazh_priroda_holmy_derevya_zelen_tuman_rassvet_solnce_5576x3087.jpg");
}

@media all and (min-width: 600px) {
  section.module h2 {
    font-size: 42px;
  }
  section.module p {
    font-size: 20px;
  }
  section.module.parallax h1 {
    font-size: 96px;
  }
}
@media all and (min-width: 960px) {
  section.module.parallax h1 {
    font-size: 160px;
  }
}

Solution

  • The problem described above is caused by margins collapsing. Refer to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Model/Mastering_margin_collapsing

    You can solve it by removing the default top margin of the first h1 elementand the default body margin. Refer to the code below:

    /* ============================================================
      PRIMARY STRUCTURE
    ============================================================ */
    .container {
      max-width: 960px;
      margin: 0 auto;
    }
    /* ============================================================
      SECTIONS
    ============================================================ */
    section.module:last-child {
      margin-bottom: 0;
    }
    section.module h2 {
      margin-bottom: 40px;
      font-family: "Roboto Slab", serif;
      font-size: 30px;
    }
    section.module p {
      margin-bottom: 40px;
      font-size: 16px;
      font-weight: 300;
    }
    section.module p:last-child {
      margin-bottom: 0;
    }
    section.module.content {
      padding: 40px 0;
    }
    section.module.parallax {
      height: 600px;
      background-position: 50% 50%;
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
      background-attachment: fixed;
      background-size: cover;
    }
    section.module.parallax h1 {
      color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
      font-size: 48px;
      line-height: 600px;
      font-weight: 700;
      text-align: center;
      text-transform: uppercase;
      text-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    }
    section.module.parallax-1 {
      background-image: url("http://www.fonstola.ru/pic/201112/2560x1600/fonstola.ru-63832.jpg");
    }
    section.module.parallax-2 {
      background-image: url("http://hdoboi.net/uploads/hd/95263_krasivyiy_osenniy_peyzaj.jpg");
    }

    }
    
    /* Added to remove the margin at the top of the page and the default body margin */
    .no-margin-top {
       margin-top: 0;
    }
    
    body {
        margin: 0;
    }
    
    @media all and (min-width: 600px) {
      section.module h2 {
