Answer 1

Following my comment:

Your problem is the div has no content... no width/height... and so the blue color is not displayed.

Use this in the css to avoid the gaps on the edges:

#bg-top {
  background-color: #2390bb;
  position:absolute; 
  top:0;
  left:0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
}

Plz mark the answer as solution if this has helped you!
