White Space below "Home" and Main Body

[lonney]

I would like to remove the space below "Home" and the main body of the page. Here is the locaton that this issue can be viewed:
URL: http://www.nybabydepot.com/index.php

I have looked though the forums and followed steps provided by other Zen users in regards to this same issue to no resove.

Here are the steps that I have currently taken:

Commented that line in my template:
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"></h1>
/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php

Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Lonney

Maybe try this, make a backup of your stylesheet.

Find in your stylesheet;

P, ADDRESS {
	padding: 0.5em;
	}

Replace with;

ADDRESS {
	padding: 0.5em;
	}
P { margin-top: -1em; padding: 0.5em }

It will also depend on what you need to have happen on other pages too....

You may need to also play with a combination of these settings to determine which is the safest approach that doesn't adversely affect other parts of your site:

#navBreadCrumb {padding-bottom: 0;}
.content {padding-top: 0;}
.centerColumn {padding-top: 0;}

I truly believe that Zen people are GREAT!! Yes this worked - thank-you. The Zen community is the BEST!!

You're welcome and thank you, that's good to hear it worked out. Which one or which combination worked for you? In case someone else has the same inquiry.

I was able to resolve this issue with the following change:
ADDRESS {
padding: 0.5em;
}
P { margin-top: -1em; padding: 0.5em }

--Thank-you all again!!
-------------------------

I do have another directly related question:
Below the define_main_page.php-there is another "space" that I am having difficulty removing. The space is located above--"New Products For September" and below "define_main_page.php" which has some text that I have written about my store.

Again, I thank and commend all your efforts,

Lonney

Thanks and you're welcome.

Okay, I repeated the same method without having any collisions between DIVs. Same as before, backup your stylesheet and find;

.centerBoxHeading {
	margin: 1em 0em;
        margin-top: -1em;
	background-color: #CCC;
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-size: 1.2em;
	color: #333;
	border: 1px solid #666666;
	}

Add the declaration in red and see how that works for you there and via other pages. I haven't tested this out on a live site, so I'm not sure what consequences it may have for all pages, if any.

Hi Lonney,

I am a new Zenner. How did you get the great looking ZCart design for your website, specifically the left sidebar navigation (I know the top nav is Flash)? Is it a 3rd Party Template? If so where can I find such a look?

Also, if there are 3rd party template designs available for Zen-Cart can someone direct me to where I can find them online in the forums or on the web?

Thanks,

Dante

There is a thread in 'Contributed Templates', where you can see free templates in action;

Also, there are different shades and other goodies available through 'downloads' on the top of the main forum menu.

You are likely not going to believe this....My site was hacked..I had to delete entire site from server and reload. Fortunatly, I really did not have a whole lot done. I was able to remove the space under "Home" and above "New Products For September" with the help of Sketchy. I followed the exact same steps as prior with different results. I am not able to remove the white space for some reason. I honestly have repeated the same steps...read through multiple other posts and have not been able to resolve this issue. I would appreciate any direction.
