How do i get rid of the space?

All of the pages have the same code, but for some reason some pages have a space and other pages dont.

This is the code:

CODE

<html>
<head>
<title>About Us</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<table width="504" height="562" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <div align="center">
  <tr>
    <body background="Hands.gif" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
    <td width="605" height="233" bordercolor="#FF6600">
    <img src="pic.gif" alt="Community of Hope" width="504" height="233" border="0" align="top"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="310" bordercolor="#FF6600" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
      <blockquote>

    <center>
<a href="coh.html"><img src="home.png"></a>
<a href="aboutus.html"><img src="aboutus.png" /></a>
<a href="findaboxnearyou.html"><img src="newsandevents.png" /></a>
<a href="whattodonate.html"><img src="whattodonate.png" /></a>
<a href="photogallery.html"><img src="photogallery.png" /></a>
<a href="contactus.html"><img src="contactus.png" /></a>
</center>
<p><font color="#FF6600" size="+2"><strong>About Us</strong>
            </font></p>
          <p><A href="aboutcommunityofhope.html">About Community of Hope (COHSI)</A></p>

      </blockquote>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td height="19" bordercolor="#FF6600" bgcolor="#FF6600">
<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-2"></font></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>

<map name="Map">
  <area shape="rect" coords="149,217,240,229" href="#">
  <area shape="rect" coords="246,218,315,228" href="#">

  <area shape="rect" coords="36,218,143,228" href="#">
</map>
</body>

I recommend that you start by fixing the markup errors reported by our online validator. See the URL at the bottom of the page.

Then post the URL of a sample document that demonstrates the problem.

CODE

Error: missing document type declaration; assuming HTML 4.01 Transitional

See the FAQ entry What is a DOCTYPE? Which one do I use?

CODE

Error: there is no attribute [...] for this element (in this HTML version)

You're using non-standard presentational markup. Use CSS instead.

CODE

Error: missing a required sub-element of TR

A tr element must contain one or more th or td elements. Just delete the empty tr element.

CODE

Error: element DIV not allowed here; check which elements this element may be contained within
Error: element TR not allowed here; check which elements this element may be contained within

You can't have loose content in a table element. It can contain tr elements, and those can contain th and/or td elements, but all content must be inside a th or td element.

(Another approach is to put the entire table inside the div.)

CODE

[code]Error: element BODY not allowed here; check which elements this element may be contained within

You can have only one body element. Just delete the second one.

CODE

Error: required attribute ALT not specified

It's missing, and it's especially critical for navigation-link images. See Use of ALT texts in IMGs.

CODE

Warning: net-enabling start-tag; possibly missing required quotes around an attribute value

You're mixing HTML and XHTML syntax. Don't use

CODE

syntax in an HTML document. Just use

CODE

instead.

CODE

Error: end tag for DIV omitted; possible causes include a missing end tag, improper nesting of elements, or use of an element where it is not allowed

You don't have a closing </div> tag.
