try styling unordered lists
not sure, but, the default style for lists has a whitespace between li elements

 css Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ul {margin:0; padding:0;}
ul li {margin:0; padding:0;}
ul {margin:0; padding:0;}
ul li {margin:0; padding:0;}

Would those tags happen to be in between the <ul> tags? In that case they would still create a whitespace above your header. The suggestions almostbob made should help in removing all the margins for ul and li tags, and they certainly remove the whitespace in Firefox with the code you provided. If you're only interested in removing the top margin, you could also use

 Help with Code Tags 
 css Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ul{margin-top:0;}
ul{margin-top:0;}

If the whitespace keeps returning with different tags just add the line tag{margin-top:0;} or tag{margin:0;} for the specific tag(s) as well.

Hope that helps, good luck.
