Help with tables

I just built a website and am having some trouble setting the height of a table cell.

the site is www.say-something.org

The problem i am having is the top left cell (with the logo) is not responding to a height="" attribute and is pushing the navigation down the page. It seems to work fine with firefox however ie does not.

I would paste the code here but it might be easier if someone could just go to the site and look at it. heres a link to a problem page:

www.say-something.org/screening.html

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Shawn

I would never use tables for layout, and I never have, so I have a lot of trouble helping people who do. The validator complains about your encoding and can't figure out line 35 for some reason. The problem goes away when you use a proper doctype.

New pages should always use a strict doctype. But you are using deprecated code which will force you to use a transitional one. The one you are using is incorrect. Use this one:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Once you do that, putting a margin:0; padding:0; on your img in your css decreases the gap but you have not closed all your tags in some areas. Validate your html and fix those errors.

Thanks for the help, it got me a little closer to what i am looking for. If you dont use tables for layout how do you go about it? I used to build pages when i was a teen so im sure my methods are a little outdated.

Thanks,
Shawn

You use <div>'s and CSS to address all/most of the attributes. Here is a link that should help get you started.
