Quick Question

I'm trying to create a layout by adding custom CSS to the Tabula Rasa style.

Does anybody happen to know which element I need to remove the margin from in order to get rid of the gap between the navigation strip and the header? I've tried everything I could think of already ...

Don't have the time to troubleshoot at the moment BUT I highly recommend Firebug for answering those types of questions--use the HTML tab, use the arrow pointing at a rectangle, and then you can hover over objects on the page and see what style is being applied to them on the right.

In that case, you can look at the "Computed" tab on the right instead of the "Style" tab--it will tell you what margins are being computed for that current block.

I don't even know what I would do without it sometimes!

Bonus: you can use Firebug to edit the CSS and tweak with it live in case you want to test out changes, too.
