    xtrashots9 is correct, just follow his instructions.

    The question has already been answered so I'm posting just for a little tip, if you use FireBug or developer modes in browsers such as FireFox, Chrome etc... then it'll help you a lot in cases like this. You can use the inspect feature to mouseover elements on the page to inspect the HTML/CSS etc... You can also then right click and remove it altogether, which'll help you identify if there's going to be any implications due to margins/paddings/float etc...

    In Chrome you can access it by clicking on the Wrench -> Tools -> Developer Tools.
