what the heck is wrong with this??
I need a pair of eyes to look at this table. I've walked away and come back to it about a dozen times but just can't see what I'm doing wrong. Why will my cell, set at a height of 210, holding an image with the height of 210, not return a height of 210!!!???
It's not an even table but I'm almost positive my row and column spans are right. grrr! I just know I'm missing something obvious here.
I've turned on table borders as well as the image border for easier reference.

hmm - I just checked this in Opera6 for the first time and things are ok. fyi - I'm having this problem in both IE6 and NN6. Haven't even bothered firing up NN4.x yet

Try adding img border 0px to your style sheet. that fixed it for me

Sonia,
What browser did you view this in? I'm off by 100's of px. - not one or two. My subnav which should be right below the logo/address is sitting down by the footer in IE and NN.. at least on *my* machine

I can't see your errors, but why on earth are you putting it together in such a complex way?
If you're using tables, you only need two columns. Set the background of the left column to be the stripe, use CSS to position the list.
Seems like you're going about this in a really awkward way, perhaps that's causing part of your problem?

Everything *will* be off a "wee bit" because I have table and image borders on for demonstative purposes.
Well... because, ummm... err...
That's a pretty darned good question Suzanne. I got myself so hung up on why *this* wasn't working that I've become sort of fixated on it. I *still* want to know!
You're right though - I *am* making this harder than it needs to be.

Not too sure what the problem is but...
Setting a width and height value in HTML is sort of like saying "this is the absolute minimum value that I want it to be" so try getting something to "push" it, I had this problem when I used tables too.

I see a couple of lil errors but nothing big, this is a common problem that usually happens in NS6 and IE
I havent much time to explain the whats, hows or whys but basically the contents or lack of them in the cells are fighting the defaults (center) and causing the spacing, you can get around it but usually involves two fixs to suit all browsers
an easy fix for you is loose the 3 td cells, make a background image of the strip and use it in that td cell (will go under image) and put the links straight under the image.
Another temp fix is add height="100%" in the bottom td cell, wont validate but can work (doesn't always), is up to you, but I see you have some caps in tag names.
