Hmmm.. in the page you posted up, I was not able to discern a particularly large gap. Should I be looking at a different section, or have you fixed it?

dez sent it to me offline, heres a copy of what i sent him back..

your problem comes from one of the cells in your table, where you have put
in your own <!-- TOP TEXT START --> blah blah blah afterwards,

the cell you have put that 'Top Text Table' into has two issues,

1. if you want the content of the cell to display at the top of the cell
rather than in the middle, you need to use a valign=top attribute for the
cell,
2. also there is a hardcoded height="1762" attribute for the cell and this
usually comes about from editing the cell/contents in dreamweaver,
particularly if you drag the sides of the cell to make it wider/longer, even
though you never specified a fixed height, you get one! (just a little
glitchette in my opinion but one thats easy to look out for.)

The precise answer to your problem is to find the line of code

<!-- MENU BAR END -->

and immediately below it you should see

<td width="530" height="1762">

REPLACE that with

<td width="530" valign="top">

hope this cures it for you.

Steve Quinn.
