After some investigation, I remain baffled by the space between two divs on a design I am currently working on. I've tried fixes involving the paragraph margins, making the image a block element, collapsing margins with the #wrapper, and removing unnecessary whitespace in the code between divs and images, which I know is an issue with IE6.
content goes here
The offending space occurs between the menu and container divs. The container was necessary to put the border around the content box. Any helps would be appreciated. This is my first post, and I look forward to being a part of the community. I've been careful to read the posts about posing a question, and hope this fits the criteria.

<li> and hasLayout
Hugo!
Brilliant. After a bit of troubleshooting, I discovered that the needed hasLayout. I applied the 1% Holly Hack and now it works beautifully.
Thanks. You're hired.

I would say you done good. You described the issue clearly, told us the things you'd done, pointed to the location of the problem and included the related markup with a link to the whole thing. I can't think of a better post.
Even if you don't show up on the answer side all that often, I suspect your questions will be a pleasure to investigate.
Hang around, we appreciate the good poster.
cheers,

Indeed , I must echo Gary's
Indeed , I must echo Gary's sentiments and did intend to remark earlier.
I'm gratified that you managed given the clue to work out the solution , as stated a perfect '10' for a thread 
Hang around even if you only post once in a blue moon or just ask questions it matters not, but asking questions with thought seems such a rarity that it's refreshing and pleasurable to help (forgotten what that felt like ) right that's enough gushing!
Oh and you have a cool avatar, not sure about the name though but glad it wasn't 'Tag Soup'
