Hello All,

I am new to designing using custom codes in NING. I have found some great tutorials that have helped me along though.

I am currently stuck with extra space being inserted after the flash file I've used for the header and after the static png that I'm using under my navigation. I've tried to resize the image and animated banner to fill in the space but it hasn't worked. Not sure if there is a margin or padding around the elements that I am unable to affect.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance

NING Site:
http://rewardcity.ning.com

Javascript from custom code area for both image and swf file:

<script type="text/javascript">
/**
 * Tracking Code Hack: Replace the Header of the network with a swf
**/
 
var headerSwfUrl    = "http://stimulus.ws/images/bountycardbanner.swf";
var headerSwfWidth  = 955;
var headerSwfHeight = 280;
var newHeaderHtml   = '<embed src="'+headerSwfUrl+'" width="'+headerSwfWidth+'" height="'+headerSwfHeight+'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer>">http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer>; "> </embed>';
var headerElement   = document.getElementById('xg_masthead');
 
//replace the old header with the new one
headerElement.innerHTML = newHeaderHtml;
 
//change the id as a simple way to remove all css attached to it
headerElement.id    = 'newheader';

</script>

CSS for entire NING site:

#xg {
    background-image:();
