 * Hi there, I’m new to web design and have been trying to set up portfolio for 
   my graphics and illustration.
    I currently have a problem with the display of
   my site, see example at: [http://www.tribe-one.com/portfolio](http://www.tribe-one.com/portfolio)
   I would like to fill in the gap between the header and the narrow column with
   a white block 736px large, so there is no interruption between the two. This 
   way, I can add a grphic image instead of trhe gray background and not have that
   anoying transparency around the nav menu. The original style css code I used 
   was:
 * #navmenu ul li {
    background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; height: 200px; width:
   100px; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; 
   display: inline; padding: 17px 15px 5px 20px }
 * But I couldn’t work out how to get the white boxes around the the titles to merge
   into one big block.
    I have now replaced this code with this one:
 * #navmenu ul li {
    list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; float:left; 
   font-weight:bold; letter-spacing:-1px; margin-bottom:3px; margin-left:11px; margin-
   right:4px; padding:5px; }
 * And now it’s just transparent…
    Would be most greatfull if somone could help!
   Many thanks, Harry

 * Hi there!
 * Go up one division and style the navmenu.
 * Something like this might work:
 *     ```
       #navmenu {
       float:left;
       display:block;
       width:756px;
       background-color:#fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if you have any troubles with that.
