Hi there
I do not see anything upsetting when I look at it. There appears to be a
little space to the right of the logo, none below it. You talking about either
of those?

Meahwhile, when I right-click and choose "view source,' I do not get the code
coming up in notepad as usual, so you must have accomplished hiding your code,
which I believe is very advanced --- contratulations!

You are already in dangerous territory - you've made just about every new
user mistake.

1. You have tried the notoriously bad MM pop-up menus. Please don't use
these.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"

function mmLoadMenus() {

Before devoting any more time to these menus, read this very carefully -

http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php

It appears that you have not implemented them properly, though, since there
is not any trigger on the page to actually initialize them. This is a good
thing! 8)

2. You have used DW's Layout mode -

<table width="760" border="5" align="center" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="5">
<!--DWLayoutTable-->

the use of which will retard your progress as a learning web developer.

3. You are using font tags -

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font face="Verdana,
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">SPACIOUS<br>

(redundant ones at that!)

You should really be learning some CSS styling even at this point.

4. You have used mixed case file naming with spaces -

src="pops/NAVBAR%20details_r1_c1.gif

(the %20 is a space)

It's best to stick with all lower-case letters, numbers, and underscores for
your naming character usage.

Finally, I don't see an objectionable space between masthead and body. But
typically speaking, these are the kinds of things that Layout mode will do
for you - create tables that behave in surprising (yet explicable ways).
You'd be much better off to spend an hour learning how to build real HTML
tables (check the table tutorials at the DW FAQ link in my sig) and then
avoid the use of Layout mode altogether.
