I'm working with a template from HTML5up named "Read Only". I have inserted a video player into the code, but there is too much space between the banner and my player. With some help I found the following code in a style sheet: 

 #main > section > .container {
padding: 4em 0 2em 0;
}

When I changed  padding: 4em to a null value, it moved the player up, but there is still a big space between banner and player.

There is also box coding in the style sheet but when I changed a box-sizing code from "border-box" to "content-box" it made no change whatsoever.

I have tried using the F12 key and opened up the debugger, but I don't know what I'm really looking for.

So I think I don't know enough about what box-sizing is doing and how to change it. Currently the page is located at:

Please let me know what other information I can provide to help out.

Hi roboy,
You problem comes from this:

#one:before {
  background-image: url("../images/banner2.png");
  background-position: top right;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 85% 60%;
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 15em;
  width: 100%;
}

Specifically the height,

Tony, Thanks. I tried

Tony,

Thanks. I tried changing that value before, but only after I had determined the height, in essence, in the background-size code. After I chopped away the em value I could increase the value percentage of background size and voila! The player moves closer and I can actually control the dimension of the image.

Thanks!!!!

Two variables, that was a toughie!
