where is this mysterious padding coming from?

http://japantown.awardspace.com/

you can see the space below and above the search bar is pretty much the same.

thats because i made the top of the bar have a padding of 14px.

the padding below the bar is just there magically.

setting image padding to 0 doesnt work, so where is it getting that bottom padding from?

manually setting the bottom padding to 0 doesnt make it go away either.

Hi there ,

if you wish to reduce the space below the search bar, then play with the highlighted values here....

Code:

---


#header {
    background-image:url('/header.gif');
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:0 -7px;    /*  I have added this attribute  */
    height:150px;
    width:900px;
    margin:-4px 25px 0 25px;
    padding:0;
    position:relative;
 }

I had a similar problem with the space below the search bar and coothead's method worked. Cheers, Mary
