Can anyone find where this white space is coming from?

I have some pretty basic html and css here, and for some reaseon my image that i have set with my css as the background image is not repeating vertically, or if it is it is covered by this white space, but the main problem her is that from the point where my image no longer repeats vertically there is pure white space, i have even tried setting the backgrond color of #content2 and the whitespace even over rides that. Can anyone see what im missing? HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<title></title>

The negative margins throughout your CSS is the cause of this problem:

#two {
    margin-top: -104px;
    margin-left: 360px;
}

Instead of using large negative margins to move things, use floats: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_float.asp.

Here is a tutorial from CSS-tricks: http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/.

Anywhere you used negative margins, you need to replace with floats. The white-space is as expected, the negative margins you are setting aren't contributing to the height.
