Strange issue with gap between elements

Hi, I have an issue with two elements in a container that have a gap between them but I cannot see where the gap is coming from.

Basically, I have a standard centered page layout, the relevant CSS for holding the elements (a banner and then a nav menu underneath) is:


body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
}

#container {
width: 1024px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

And the CSS for the elements is:


#topbanner {
width:974px;
}

#menubar {
width:974px;
float:left;
}

The banner goes across the top of the page and the idea is that the menubar (which contains a number of images and their rollovers) fits directly underneath without any gap. But there seems to be white space of about 5px in all browsers and I can't see why. I tried adding a clearfloat into the HTML, i.e:


.clearfloat { 
clear:both;
  height:0;
  font-size: 1px;
  line-height: 0px;
}

But this doesn't do anything.

HTML is currently:


<body>
<div id="container">
<div class="topbanner"><img src="image/banner2.png" alt="banner" /></div>
<div class="clearfloat"></div>
<div class="menubar">(various button images)</div>
<div class="clearfloat"></div>

Any ideas as this has me stumped!
