If I'm looking at the right thing, the <style> element way down the
page? That is not supposed to be outside of the <head>.
As for your white space, I think it has to do with
#navStrip ul { background-color: silver; text-align: left; margin-left:
0; padding-left: 0; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; }. Notice you don't
set a top/bottom margin. Try margin:0 instead of margin-left:0.
I also noted an <img> with width="100px" height="75px". px is
understood. I don't remember for certain if this is an error but the
px is certainly unneeded.
