Final change to template, top of the page has a white margin.. Removal?

Hi

I've been customising the subsilver template to match my websites forum

http://www.clubcalibra.net/

I've almost got it perfect.... bar two minor issues

Gallery is found here http://www.clubcalibra.net/gallery/index.php

There is a white margin at the top of the page - unlike the forum - I wish to remove this, firstly to match the header of the forum, but also as I have a couple of members with resolution problems and this will assist in bringing the body of the page up slightly

Also - something which I think is probably nothing to do with coppermine - but he header image and the background image of the table don't line up perfectly - the horizontal line is about 2px off

If anyone could help - with the top margin especially I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks

The code for my template and style sheet and theme is :

I'm guessing my coding is a little on the amature side - but I'm getting there...

Just noticed a missing table tag in the template.html file

updated one is -

Also the white space seems more prominant on IE rather than firefox...

Joe Carver

Please try not to overpost with too much info. You should  .zip a theme and also allow time for people to look at your problem. With that said.....

Use Developer Tools in IE and/or search for Firebug - both of these will tell you a lot about your pages.

Check your text editor - make sure you are not using UTF with BOM.
See this link for Tools Recommended by the Developers

I am now trying an editor called Notepad++, it also seems to work well.

Joachim Müller

The white bar on  top of the banner is caused by the margin-top and padding-top attributes assigned to the class topbkg.
Additionally, the margin and padding attributes for the html and the body tag are not zero out of the box.
Further, the nesting of your HTML table is invalid. Needs improvement, but here is a slight correction already:
