Hello this is my first post. Im working on a site layout and i use php to manage my rectangles. I am having a problem getting them lined up correctly in IE. It looks perfect in firefox. mySite.
The css was thrown in there to try and make it work in IE. Only thing it helped with was getting rid of the body margins and getting it to be flush top and bottom. With or without the css the gaps still appear. Its strange cuz i dont have this problem on another site im working one. Detriment
Im very new to this whole w3 standard stuff and its a bit frustrating  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a really old hack, but it works:
change this:
<td width ="330" height ="85" rowspan ="2">
<img src ="/images/header2.gif"> </td>
to this:
<td width ="330" height ="85" rowspan ="2"><img src ="/images/header2.gif"></td>
What's happening is that IE is taking the linebreak after <img> and treating it as a space, thus creating the space.
However, be warned, if you switch to using a doctype, I'd recommend HTML 4.01 transitional:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
this may change the rendering. Currently you are relying on the various quirks modes the browsers go into, which is not a good thing to rely on, you want it better controlled, which using a doctype will do. However, with a doctype, a correct one, you'll have new issues with Firefox making spaces once you add links to the images.

<td>put the tags and the content all on one line</td>
problem.
Seen it many times. A right royal pain.

Start with HTML Transtitional 4.01 unless there is a very good reason to do something else.
Validate your code at http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html and fix any errors found.
