Sorry James, did not understand exactly waht you mean. I have no spaces on all other pages than on the frontpage. Mainbody has for sure no content now but I still see an empty white area on frontpage, looking like a banner or a small empty menu bar.

How would I add more than one page/article to this code?  If I wanted my content to be omitted on several pages and not just one?

How do you exclude the object from everything BUT the frontpage? In other words, I want the rocket image ONLY to appear on the homepage. In my case the homepage is Itemid 1 (not the frontpage component).
The following code does the opposite:

In other words, the rocket image is on every page BUT the homepage - exactly opposite of what I want

If I take out the exclamation point from the php code, then the rocket images again appears on every page

i'm trying to disable mainbody on the frontpage, but where do I put this code in index.php?

<?php if ($option != "com_frontpage") : ?>
       <?php mosMainbody(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

-edit- ok I got it in the right place.  but there is still the "Home" section showing.  how do I get rid of this?

there's still a module there that just says "Home".  before, it said "Home" and "There is no content to display"

yea that worked...but...that sucks.  the pathway is very useful on the other parts of the site.  do I have any other options here?
