Need help with adding text at top of page, and table to css layout change

I am redoing a site of mine which was a table based layout, to css layout. I want to add text at the very top in the blue section w/o disrupting the rest of the page. I have tried different things w/o success.

And on this page, this is the last page I need to convert to css layout but it is a little more complex then just a 2 col layout. If someone could help with it, that would be awesome.

note: page may be slow to load. working on optimization right now. Site is not yet live.

Thanks,

First page:

<div id="header">
  <p>Hi there</p>  <!-- css {height: 80px;} -->
    <div style="float: left;">
    ...
    <ul>

Code (markup):

Note that margins and padding are removed from the float div and ul margins and padding are set to zero. The p with the text is set to a height.

Please clean up your markup.

Do not put all that blank space at the top. Start on the very first line.

Do not use tabs unless your editor automagically converts tabs to spaces (2 or 3 only) upon saving. If your editor can't do that, you should reconsider its value.

the whitespace is a byproduct of coldfusion. Some of it can be remedied, but not all.
I have always only done tabs. doubt that will change anytime soon. I don't believe dreamweaver cs4 has that option to convert. I only use it for cf code editing, not as a wysiwyg.

Thanks for the css. Will give it a go.
