Hi, I have a header that I want to be at the very tip top, with no space above it, and to stretch the full width of the screen with no space on the sides. However, that is not what I have.

CODE

header {
    margin-top: 0;
    width:100%;
    background-color:#B7D39E;
}

You must also get rid of the margin or padding browsers add by default to BODY. See this FAQ entry.

Ignore the margintop and so on. That's very outdated. CSS is enough.
