Yes -- topmargin, marginwidth, marginheight don't exist.

In the CSS:

body {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    }

There is no attribute called height for the table. You can set that in the CSS, or not at all (better, let the content stretch it).

The name attribute is deprecated for this purpose -- it should be id.

<img id="homepage" border="0" src=...>

Cell backgrounds should be in the CSS.

<td width="247" style="background-image: url(pinkbg.jpg) #hex repeat-x; vertical-align: top;">

<!-- or even better -->

<td class="functionalName">

td.functionalName {
    background-image: url(pinkbg.jpg) #hex repeat-x;
    vertical-align: top
    }
