}

#container

margin: 0 auto;
width: 700px;
background:#fff;
}

#header

Hi SureEM25,

Your padding could be hiding it - 120px is huge. How big is your header container?

If you can provide the relevant HTML as well, that would be helpful.

<div id="container">

<div id="header">

</div>
<ul id="menu">
  <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">About Us</a> 
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">The Team</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">History</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Vision</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="#">Products</a> 
    <ul>

      <li><a href="#">Right Here</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Somewhere Else</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<div id="content">
</div>

<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>

here is the html that goes with the css note this is not the actualy content becuase I was coping from one of my practice sites.

If you need the size of the image it is 700x243

ok figured it out, I had a background to the container its self.
