Let me lay out the blueprint I had in mind for my webpage:
- The body will have a width and height of 600 x 800 pixels with no padding, allowing elements to snugly align without any margin.
- Inside the body, there will be 3 key elements - a header, main content, and footer, all designated as classes since they will be used across multiple pages of my site.
- Each of these 3 elements will have a width of 598 pixels, with 0 margin and a 1-pixel border for a precise fit within the body. Additionally, the borders will be styled as dashed for visual effect.
- The vertical distribution of these elements within the body will be divided into segments of 150, 500, and 150 pixels respectively. The 1-pixel top/bottom borders of each element will overlap, creating a layout with defined spacing.
If possible, could you point out where I might have erred in my HTML structure? Currently, when I preview the page, the header's width doesn't seem right. (Of course, once completed, my page will be vibrant and engaging, but for now, my focus is on getting the design just right.)
