Gap between header and spry menu bar (school project)?
Apr 10, 2012 9:15 PM
Hello I have a project for school and they want me to have a html dw premade layout, with a header image, and a spry menu bar located in the header. Which I have done but there is this little gap between the header image and the spry menu bar and the header that i can't get rid of. There is no extra paragraph or line break tags in there, I have NO idea what is wrong, please help if you know. Thanks.
Attached below is the html and css. Sorry it has all the premade dw text in it too. At the bottom I also attached the external css for the page and the spry menu bar, just in case.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
