padding problem

[neuzen]

hey fellow zenners...

i've got a padding - or margin [spacing] - problem. at the top of my center or main column, there's about 3-5 px of space that i can't' get to disappear.

here's the rendered html between the end of the left column and the start of a flash file wrapper that should start the center/main column with only 1 px space between it and the header

########################################___


<td valign="top">
<!-- bof breadcrumb -->
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->


<div class="centerColumn" id="indexDefault">
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"></h1>

<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="602" height="160">

########################################___

none of the css ids or classes above the flash wrapper are in my .css file and tpl_main_page.php doesnt have any tag attributes for spacing.

i'm not an html or stylesheet expert so i ask for help here (after using developer's toolkit and searching for possible culprits).

from me to me: thanks for the help - problem solved.

You have an h1 header above your content div, and even though it is blank, it may be taking up some space. Try commenting that out and see if the space disappears.

Was it the <h1>?
