extra padding in div? how do i fix it?

Well, sense you are using more than one div, I'm going to have to ask which one you're referring to.
Also: validate your HTML

the div is called "body_wrapper"

ill validate my html once i figure this out.

thanks for your help.

Okay. Well let me know when you figure it out and validate your code. Then I'll get around to helping you.

You'll never get it right then. Always validate FIRST. As you code validate your HTML often. It's easy and free, and will save you endless difficulty. We give you this advice to help you and save you a ton of time. If you reject it why should we bother with you further?

Hey guys,

I validated my html.

Like I mentioned earlier I am getting extra spacing in IE. The spacing is showing up under the nav and above the "body_wrapper" div.

It's because IE incorrectly clears your floats.
Add overflow:hidden to #header and then your floats will be cleared. From there, you will have a better cross browser reference on what you need to alter to make this design work... such as moving the nav to the body content instead of the header to match up with your background.

I moved my UL to the body div, but i am still seeing some extra padding on my header div.

any ideas?

thanks,
S
