Positioning Banner in Header

[calven]

I am trying to position my ad banner in the header of my site. Everything works fine in firefox but then I checked it in IE7 and I noticed a whitespace around the banner - http://www.chartsetups.com

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get rid of this whitespace around the banner?

Heres my existing code as is:

<div class="header">
<div class="TopMenu">
%%Panel_SiteMenuPanel%%
</div>
<img class="logo" src="http://www.chartsetups.com/templates/Default/Images/logo.jpg" alt="ChartSetups.com" />

<iframe src="http://content.tradeking.com/refer/banner?id=23&key_code=TKchartsetups" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" IMG STYLE="position:absolute; TOP:30px; LEFT:420px; WIDTH:468px; HEIGHT:60px" width="468" height="60">
<a href="http://content.tradeking.com/refer/banner_click?id=23&key_code=TKchartsetups" target="_top">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://content.tradeking.com/refer/banner_image?id=23&key_code=TKchartsetups" width="468" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="http://content.tradeking.com/refer/banner_image?id=23&key_code=TKchartsetups" />
<param name="flashvars" value="clickTAG=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.tradeking.com%2Frefer%2Fbanner_click%3Fid%3D23%26key_code%3DTKchartsetups&clickTARGET=_blank" />
</object>
</a>
</iframe>


<div id="menu">
<img src="http://www.chartsetups.com/templates/Default/Images/menu-front-cap.gif" alt="front cap" />
<div class="menuBg">
<ul>
%%SNIPPET_MenuLinks%%
</ul>
</div>
<img src="http://www.chartsetups.com/templates/Default/Images/menu-cap.gif" alt="end cap" />
</div>
</div>

No whitespace in IE7 here, except for the 1px on the left side of the vertical scrollbar that is, by the way, always white and is a part of the scrollbar.

Very sorry if this was the wrong section - I thought this was the section closest to my topic - please move the thread or refer me to a different area if im wrong - not trying to cause any problems.

Yep, a friendly sitepoint user saw my post and helped me fix the problem before you saw the site... thanks for taking a look though!


Hmm, now I'm running into another problem - my header got moved down a line in IE 7 only for my blogs section. EX: http://www.chartsetups.com/blogs/20/...spot-Play.html

interestingly enough the blogs category posts are the only pages that send the header down - the rest of the site is fine!

Any ideas?

I see an end tag for an unordered list too many.
Try validating your page.

This is driving me insane lol - IE 7 moves the header down one line messing up my entire menu for the blogs section but the rest of the pages work fine - only blog posts get messed up!

I have checked the code and validated it - everything is fine - There has to be something im missing.....

no worries calven, im not a moderator anyway... but your problems seem to relate to html/css, which there is a forum specifically for. The members over there are mostly freakily good at those topics, so its the best place to ask.

Thanks for the help man! While I am not new to sitepoint, I am fairly new to the forums - Ill transfer my question over to the other section. What is the link to that section - I wasnt able to find anything about Html boards here...

the "web page design" forum has the sub categories "HTML", "CSS", and "usability".

I don't think you can transfer the post though you need to get a moderator to do it.
