Using my own background image, need to remove huge blank space (buffer) at top.

Hello guys and gals.

I'm customizing my ZenCart and have finally used my own background image. At the top of my store where the header/banner is, it is completely white (white is my background color) for a few hundred pixels... then my background image finally starts. Can someone tell me how to get rid of this white buffer area that is just above my background image? Thanks!

Monty - did you already fix it because I don't see any white space at the top

No, maybe I'm explaining it wrong. I tested it in another browser to make sure it's consistent as well. I'm in Firefox and in IE it actually starts at the top where it should be for almost a second until the rest of the page loads in and then it bumps down a few hundred pixels.

The upper left and upper right corners of my background image (which are pink-ish and feathered) should be at the top of the page.

Mo,
Wow a cool show i used to watch as a child.. Monty Python

Here is the problem:
body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url(../images/store_bg.jpg);
background-position:center center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
color:#000000;
font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:62.5%;
margin:0;

1. the highlighted red font above you have added two center instead of one
2. should be:
3. background-position: center;

:clap:Gotta love Monty Python... and thanks for your attention too! :clap:

I should be changing the Style sheet in > Templates>Classic>Css right?

The css doc in there has it the way it should be... pasted from doc...

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: url(../images/store_bg.jpg);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Thanks for your time!

Mo,
Take background-position: center; completely out of the sheet please.
