Need Help Tweaking Code
On the site I'm creating I'm unable to make the main table stretch from top to bottom even though I made its height 100%, in internet explorer the top of the nav bar isn't touching the rest of the nav bar, the title part of the content box is to big even though I set it to 12px, and there is a lot of space in the content box that the text should be filling. I've been workin on all those for a while and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Be warned my code is very sloppy. Even though the site isn't of professional quality please don't steal it. I've attatched the index file in a rar file with all the images needed as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah ? and certainly not a bit of offense here XtC, you're not the first or last to zip e'rrthing up ? but somehow that investment of downloading and unzipping seems so much more taxing; I'm certainly guilty. I'd rather look at it on a site somewhere and then spider/look things up manually. The prospect of sloppy code is def a deal-breaker though.
hmm OK i've editorialized enough to not actually help you out.
Images and weird gaps: IE does not discard white space like it should. Specifically, this will give you gaps:
<td>
<img src="images/rates.gif">
</td>
...but this will not...
<td><img src="images/rates.gif"></td>
Man dude, table party.
You can fake the 100% thing by making a new background image that has that dark grey bg, then the black gradient and blue bg like you've got. Give that sucker vertical-repeat and you have yourself a faked 100% height thing, aka faux columns.
Try that ^^ garbage up there and see where that gets you. I would highly highly highly recommend trying newer coding techniques and ditching the tables thing. Though CSS can have issues of it's own, it's a lot cleaner and easier to diagnose problems like these. Good luck man, post back and I'll help you some more.
