Susan,
Normally removing the DOCTYPE declaration puts the browser into
quirks mode. This may seem to "fix" your problem, but you'll probably
just run into other layout problems later and since quirks mode
varies from browser to browser it'll be frustrating.
You just need to zero the margin on your body to get rid of that spacing:
body{ margin:0px;}
Hope this helps,
