Couple of things needing help

Hi again,
I have inserted an image map using my header bg image. That works fine.

1.) How do I get rid of the Home & Log In links under the header?
(I want to keep the tile_back.gif, but get rink of the text links on it, under the header.)

2.) Since inserting the image map, when I view in IE, my header is out of alignment.

any help to fix these things would be greatly appreciated.

the tileback gif is also showing up above my header in IE. I need that gone.
it's not showing that in FF.

I tried adding this code to the bottom of my css to remove the home/login text links, but they are still there. ??

#navMain ul li {
display: none;
}

issue of text links being removed has been resolved.

still need help with other cosmetic problems in first two posts.

if I could get the main page content bumped up under the header, I wouldn't grieve over not having the tileback gif under my header.

but it still not looking the same in both FF & IE.

Could it be that you have an empty <h1> in the tagline wrapper.

Also, curious as to the outer links in the header vs eZpages. Using outside links in the header will kill sessions and empty carts.

I didn't find any empty <h1> tags in my css.

I wondered about the header links as well, but when I add an item to the cart not logged in, click outside link, and click back into the cart...the cart item is still there. doesn't kill the session or empty the cart. I'll double check it logged in.

It wouldn't be found in the css. In the file where you removed the tagline, you probably left the <h1> behind.

only files edited were css and tpl_header php. I'll double check the tpl header file

can't find anything there out of place either.

Still shows on line 34 of your page source but sometimes other things can wreak havoc in IE. Check out your site in validation. Those five errors could send IE on a wild goose chase while firefox would look okay.

Try looking at your includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/header.php around line #21 and see if you didn't leave the <h1> there. Should read -- Line #21 : define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

ok I'll check it. but I didn't touch/edit the file header.php today in adding the image map. Nothing was messed up before today.

ok, I'll work on those things. thank you for reminding me to validate.

when I validated the css, I get this...

263 #navMainWrapper Parse Error

but can't spot the error when I look at my file

#navMainWrapper, {
margin: 0em;
	background-color: #babada;
	background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #000000;
	height: 1%;
}

you spotted that one. thank you. I fixed it.

it's still not looking the same in IE though. validation says all is okay.

what am I missing?

I'm not seeing what your talking about in line 34 ??

On the parse error, you have a comma after #navMainWrapper. Remove that and it should look a lot different.

You won't see the line 34 error after removing the empty <h1>

thank you for spotting that sparse error. two sets of eyes was very helpful.

In IE, I have the tile_back gif to where it's not showing up and it's looking much better, but there is still a space between the top header & the main body.

In FF, it looks like I want it.

bump. I still need help with this in IE. need the space between the header and main body removed in IE.

In IE, it seems to be inserting space for the logo.gif under my header image map header graphic.

here's the tpl_header.php code.

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->
<?php
if (!isset($flag_disable_header) || !$flag_disable_header) {

I have played with everything that I can think of, but still can not get the space removed in IE between my header & content body.
