Need to remove mystery spacing
Please look at the following:
http://remarkable-leadership.com/
In Opera, Flock, FireFox and Netscape (WIN), no problems.
In IE, there is a little space between the header tabs and the two vertical lines on each side framing the page.
I want to remove the space.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Brett

The first thing to do would be to add a doctype to your page - this may help explain things: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/
Then validate your pages at http://www.w3.org/ for both html and css and see where your page is at.
Currently due to no doctype, IE is in quirks mode and should be the first thing that is corrected to see how your page then renders in other browsers with this addition.

The links to the validators are http://validator.w3.org for (X)HTML and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ for CSS.
Unfortunately, just slapping a DOCTYPE on this won't be enough. You're going to have to re-learn how to design and code Web sites. A lot of the elements and attributes you have in your code have been depreciated (flagged for eventual removal) and should be avoided.
