Thank you Jukka,
I did not have the page uploaded to a URL, there's been so many versions
that I am sick of doing that unless I think it's ready for production. Last
effort was ok but I did not test in FireFox and did not think the client
would even know what Firefox was. So boxes came out different sizes when he
accidentally saw it with FF. :)
Now, this page was from scratch, laid out on paper first, but then I used
dreamweaver on it, that was probably a mistake. The ul {margin:0} worked
great, thank you. I guess I need to rewrite it again, using more columns now
(by hand, Dreamweaver always seems to add more stuff than necessary).
<sigh>...
BTW, I originally tried to get this design working with pure css, but was
plagued with columns and menus bouncing around when the page was resized, so
I am doing layout with a table now, yep.

You should have posted the URL of your best effort. Don't stop thinking
about the matter before you realize why. Hint: try copying the fragment

You should really design the page from scratch. Fixed-width layout tables
are a complicated way of creating problems that can only be solved by a
rewrite of the page.

On the very technical side, a <ulelement typically have default margins,
or at least a default bottom margin, and to remove them you would use
ul { margin: 0; }
