unwanted white space - please help

dustybin · October 18, 2006

hi,

i have minimal code knowledge and have read numerous posts that have pointed me to edit the english.php file or the english/index.php file.

i am now at this stage and im just tidying the front page up but i have some unwanted white space at the top of the page (just below the header)thats stopping my main image box from aligning with my side menus.

http://shop.haveyourcakeandeatit.org/

if anyone can help please give me an idea of what to do. here is a paste of my english/index.php file.

thanks

Try looking in catalog/index.php

you will see settings there for cell padding and cell spacing. some of these are set to 3. try changing them to 0. experiment with which ones do exactly what you want.

hi,

thanks for the reply. the file you suggested was correct but it was a previous edit i had made of trying to remove the "welcome guest" message. i reverted to my previous file and it seems fine again. thanks for your time
