Hey all,
Not long ago I started redesigning my own website. I cut up all the images and was breezing through the coding, but I ran into this stubborn problem. I put this wrapper 200 pixels from the top of the screen (the height of my header), but there is some automatic "margin" that Microsoft's Expressions Web puts in. Besides that, the gap is visible in older versions of IE. It is not visible in up-to-date IE or firefox.
Here is the magical 'gap' I'm talking about:

This is a screenshot from expressions web. I re-sized it for the forums so it wouldn't stretch your screen; but all it seems to be is a non-existent margin that is magically displayed. That "style" (a space with diagonal white lines) is what Expressions Web usually displays for some sort of padding or margin. BUT...I've tried setting both to zero and no change was displayed. Unfortunately it wasn't one of those incidents of IE putting in line breaks for no reason, either...I put the wrapper DIV right after the header one, and no change.
If it helps any, this is how I coded my page:

I'm not going to post the picture because its 1600 pixels wide and 900 tall...

(View source if needed, all it is so far really is div tags)
I want to continue working on my site, but this really has me stumped. Finally after a few days I figured I would post here and see if anyone could help. :(
