thanks for the links...Provided that I follow some of that direction, it causes a few more minor issues depending on the browser. In IE6 I have been able to get rid of the white space entirely but the #navMainWrapper is duplicating both in the header and footer of the page as you can see at www.vinashcoaching.com/store (again I apologize for the slow loading time). In Firefox the text from #navMainWrapper isn't centered in the wrapper (it's sitting below the box)...now I can expand the box using this portion of the stylesheet

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0em;
background-color: #abbbd3;
background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
padding: 1.0em 0.2em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #DC2637;
height: 1%;
white-space: nowrap;
}

but then it looks really bad on IE6. The padding at 1.0 seems to be the middle ground for both browers and although the wrapping below the bar in IE6 looks kinda bad, I can live with that provided I was able to raise the text for the #navMainWrapper links (i.e. home, login, ect.). If anyone knows how to do this w/o screwing it up in IE then please let me know, otherwise I think the white background that I had in the top of the banner in IE6 before I edited the tpl_header.php located in this post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ht=white+space might be the lesser of two evils...

Let me also say the response time on this site for help is really quick and I'm extremely impressed. This seems to come with an outstanding community, thanks to all those that have responded and helped on this issue. Look forward to hearing back some additional suggestions.
