spacing under menu bar?

[mlegg]

On a site I have my banner image with a menu bar under it then the white space container for the text/content of the page. How can I get rid of that space?



here is the css for the menu bar

ul#css3menu0,ul#css3menu0 ul{
	margin:0;list-style:none;padding:0;background-color:#dedede;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:#5f5f5f;-moz-border-radius:0px;-webkit-border-radius:0px;border-radius:0px;}

I changed the css a bit but I still see that space

[Beverleyh]

So the space only appears in Firefox right?

There's some Gecko-specific CSS that looks to be causing it;

@-moz-document url-prefix(){
	body:first-of-type ul#css3menu1{display:inline-block} 
	body:first-of-type ul#css3menu1>li{display:block;float:left !important;}
	}

Take that out of style.css and that should sort it.

thanks, that looks like it worked

Bev now when you mouse over the navigation bar on the words UNITS, the sub menu appears under the HOME button.

[Beverleyh]

Ah, I see - I didn't spot your nest li's amongst the data URIs.

OK - change of plan. Put that that Gecko CSS back in and try setting an explicit height on your #css3menu1 ul

#css3menu1 { height:38px }

THANKS that works great.
