First Some Appreciation:

Over the past few days I've worked to change the look of my ZenCart store from the somewhat drab default template into a customized template with a bit more energy. First I tried integrating a pre-built template, but as this approach caused me more confusion than clarity, I scrapped this effort, returned to my original look, and began to make cautious incremental changes to the overall look. I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover that customizing the look of a ZenCart store isn't all that difficult, even for someone (such as myself) who knows practically nothing of php and hardly more about html. I offer this observation by way of appreciation for the people who have built and are building ZenCart, because *clearly* the ease of customization results from their efforts, not my abilities.

I've encountered one problem that I can't solve. I wanted to create a template such that my header elements (logo, navigation) and my content (in the contentMainWrapper table) worked as a single unit that appeared to float over my background tiles. I have the header looking that way I want it to, and I have the table looking the way I want it to, but danged if I can get the two elements to bump against one another. That is, about a half-inch bare strip stubbornly remains between the two main parts of my page. It's obvious visually, as a quick glance at this link will show:

I've scoured the relevant elements on my stylesheet and can find no attribute values that would cause the gap. I've also studied the html using Firebug, and I can't find the cause of the gap. I also copied the page source as rendered and studied it in an html editor, but I still can't locate the cause of the gap. Through trial and error, though, I did discover that the table portion of the html renders at the very top edge of the screen if I remove the header DIVs, which suggests to me that the gap is caused by something in these DIVs, but I can't find it.

If anyone has a moment to take a quick look and can offer direction, I'll be most appreciative. Please note that my store isn't ready to go live yet, as I have much work still to do. I've only put it up so anyone responding to this post would be able to see the problem I'm having.
