The following stylesheet rule eliminates the problem in almost all modern
browsers.
H5 { margin: 0px; }
It doesn't eliminate the problem for NS4 or iCab but then those browsers
don't do CSS too well.
iCab promises great things for version 3 so I wouldn't about it, iCab is
being actively developed with at least one new beta coming out every week
lately. NS4 is a problem though as it's a dead product.
To also fix things in NS4 abandon the <h5> followed by <center> and change
it to this:
<div class="navlinks" align="center"> [Navigation here] </div>
Then in the stylesheet add the following rule:
.navlinks {
font-family: verdana, geneva, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
I mean no disrespect with the following, you're doing a great job with LEM,
but you've posted before about some design problems and I think it's time
for you to decide what version of HTML you want to offer your visitors.

It's hard to say what's the right thing for a browser to do given the state
of the HTML. What with all the fonttags, empty tags and center's sprinkled
generously around, some are uppercase, some are lowercase. It would help if
you cleaned up the code. The code also isn't formatted for easy reading
which makes debugging it very hard.
I know you're a fan of Claris Homepage but really it's extremely out of
date and it's not helping your site anymore if you're trying for HTML 401
Trans.
For the moment the fixes above should help you out.
Cheers, Harold.
