Illustrator: Clipping Mask

Solved

Hello,

I'm on Illustrator working on a header. This header includes a clipping mask. So, the clipping mask goes outside the page boundaries. When I export it, the resulting image has a large white space around it, which actually corresponds to the clipping mask. I don’t understand. Why is what goes beyond the page boundaries still being included?

I'm not sure if I’m being clear, but thanks in advance if someone can provide an answer =)

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.3

    Here is the header in question. It's in PNG. You might not notice it, but there are two empty and unnecessary spaces on each side.
