[AKR]

ok, so i have this speed bar i downloaded from xcartmods.co.uk/ (thought i'd give the guy a plug) and i'm trying to place it over my header image. in the css file, it looks like the background is set to transparent, but it's just showing a white space to the right of it. i'm not sure if that means it's not being transparent, or if it's sitting below the image instead of over it. i'm foggy on my html, so maybe someone could help me figure this out. thanks for any help.

here is my head.tpl code:
