space between banner and container problem

**mlegg** · 01-28-2010, 01:35 AM

I just redesigned our non-profit website and have a problem. Right below my banner, there is a small space and then it appears the banner top is showing again above my text container. I was about to put a horizontal navigation bar below the banner and after doing this realized I had an error somewhere. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: here is the site http://ahepa215.org/

What did I do wrong? Here is my css file

Code:

body {
  margin: auto;
  background-image : url(images/greekkey.gif);
  background-repeat : repeat;
  max-width : 870px;
}

#mainPicture {
  height : 170px;
  width : 870px;
  background-image : url(images/banner.png);
  padding-top: 10px;
  margin: 0;
}

.contentBox {
  font-family: sans-serif;color:navy;
  clear:both;
}

.innerBox {
  background-color : #ffffff;
  background-image : url(images/content_back.png);
  background-repeat : repeat-y;
  padding-top: 1em;
  padding-left: 1em;
  padding-right: 1em;
  padding-bottom : 1em;
}

#footer {
  background : url(images/footer.png) no-repeat;
  text-align : center;
  font-size : small;
  font-family : sans-serif;
  color : #010101;
  padding-top: 5px;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
}
#footer A {
  color : #010101;
}

here is the HTML

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html><head>


  
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>AHEPA 215</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
    
  <base href="http://ahepa215.org"></head><body>
<div id="mainPicture"></div>

<div class="contentBox">
<div class="innerBox">
<div class="contentText">

<p>The Portsmouth Chapter #215 of the Order of AHEPA was founded on March 21, 1929, at which time the first meeting was held. On March 24, 1929 thirty four residents of Portsmouth and Dover were initiated into the Order.</p>
