I had another problem that I ended up fixing. I was trying to apply a css style to a cell in order to repeat an image as a drop shadow column. It will only work in internet explorer. Ever since doing that, even though I have deleted it, now I get a gap between my footer and the rest of the table. Here is the html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<style type="text/css">

table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
body {
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */

.oneColFixCtrHdr #container {
width: 900px; /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0px solid;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}

background: #FFFFFF;
/*padding: 0 2px 0 2px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
}
.oneColFixCtrHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
/*padding: 2px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}
.oneColFixCtrHdr #mainContent {
/*padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
background: #FFFFFF;
}

/*padding: 0 2px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
background:#DDDDDD;
}
.oneColFixCtrHdr #footer p {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
/*padding: 2px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
}
.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #mainContent table {
