Space between table rows in IE

There is a (to me) unexplainable space displayed beneath the the table row bearing the topbanner and the menu/content table row. This error is only shown in IE7 (haven't tried any other versions of it), but shows fine in the newest version of Firefox.
The link to page is http://www.sleipnerband.dk/index.php?id=news
BTW, I don't know if this is in the right forum, but please bear with me... I'm new here.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Well, the first thing you need to do is put a proper DOCTYPE in, then validate your code, see where that leads you.

LNR is right. You've got some code issues.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

Another possible cause is the space you have in your code between your cells and your images. IE has been known to throw up on it.

You want something like:

<td><img src="..." /></td>

Hi Derry -

Hmmm... I haven't verified this yet, but I wonder if IE is having a problem with the setting you have for the DIV in the main content area -- the "overflow" (highlighted in reference image below)? I understand you want that for scrolling purposes, but you never know with IE it has "issues" with so many CSS elements. Take it out temporarily and see if that is the culprit.

Reference image:

Note that the borders of your table cells have been highlighted first, using the Web Developer extension for Firefox, then "Display Element Information" was used to see the CSS code for the Div -- see how to article here.

A tip to help you quickly "clean your code (as the other members recommended):
  • Install the Html Validator (based on Tidy) 0.7.9 extension (get it here)
  • Open one of your “old” HTML files in FireFox
  • View the source, click the “Cleanup the page” button.
  • Copy and paste your cleaned code into your editor
Best of luck and success.
- Scott

Thanks a lot for the info. I know that the code is a bit murky, I webmaster the site, but I didn't create it. So, I'm currently trying to tidy it all up and make it a little easier to update and manage.
I'll try doing as you posted sometime before christmas, I hope... Thanks again.

I didnt look at the page but make sure that if you have any height elements that they all add up, make sure all tables have cellpadding ='0' cellspacing='0', valign='top' for the body table, if there is a body table.

hope this helped

regards
Marcus
