    Hi,
    I have a small problem on a website i am making; have a look at it here. I don't understand why the image doesn't go all the way to the top of the page. Instead theres a bit of white space at the top...

    Any ideas as to why this is and how to fix it?

    Thanks.

    Forget all the html attributes. YOur table default to 100px top padding for some reason. Check this
    replace your table tag
    
<table width="800" bordercolor="#006699" border="25" bgcolor="#ffffff" align="center">
    HTML:
    With this
    
<table class="mainTbl">
    HTML:
    Now open up main.css and add this.
    
/*
 * Style for main table  align is not set in table but rather in the TD tag
 * Check out other border style types here:
 * http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_border-style.asp
 */
table.mainTbl {
     color:#FFFFFF;
     padding-top:0px;
     width:800px;
     border:outset #006699 25px;
    
}
    HTML:

    That should do it

    Your problem is in main.css (line 30) : 
    table {
color:#FFFFFF;
padding-top:100px;
}
    Code (markup):
    The padding-top:100px; is causing you problems :p .. remove it
