Thanks Nils. I've got it fixed now. You were close, but not exactly correct. It turned out it was not the image itself, but the size of the div containing the image that was the culprit. I needed to set the left and right margins to -10px to override the 10px padding of the containing div. The reason I missed it, was that I had that set correctly in an earlier version of the style sheet, and forgot to copy across the #masthead div to the new style sheet.
Thanks a lot for helping - you pointed me at the error I'd been hunting for for hours. And thanks for your comments about the link colours. They were decided by the client and I've advised her to change them. Waiting to see what she says.

It is probably the width of the image in the masthead that is causing the problem. The container is 660px wide whereas the image has a set width of 670. Reducing the image width or increasing the container width seems to fix the gap problem, > Any other criticism or comments would be welcome too, if you felt like > making them. Just a note on the colour choise. Neither red text on red background or red text on black background are a wise choise. It is too little contrast between the colours. I especially had some problem reading the link text. I would recomend the Color contrast checker: http://www.snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html That was posted in "Some links for light reading" the other day ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
