Default HTML help?

I'm tinkering with a website template but can't seem to get the slideshow where I want it.

It needs to be where the static picture is now.

I know how to change the size to fit and I'll get to that, but how on earth do I move it up?

It seems the header tag in the style.css is too tall.
#header {
position: relative;
height: 572px;
}


I would change it to no more than the a few pixels taller than the combined height of the images that make up the header.

I am by no means an html/css expert, but that is just what I noticed.

I think it's a nesting problem. You've moved the slideshow up into the header, but it's nested within the navigation DIV instead of by itself.

Move the slideshow under the
Code:
</ul>
but above the
Code:
</div>
and I think you'll be there.

Thanks. Looks like a little of both. Now I just need to get the size right and move on to the next challenge, which is changing the font at the top of the page
