Try redoing the layout aspects of the CSS using a shell from http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php ... For educational purposes I would keep an old copy of your stylesheet settings to check for differences.
The only markup error I noticed was in your <html> declaration. You should declare it as follows:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
If that fixes the spacing problem, all the better ;) I'm just a trained monkey, and my master (W3C) says that's how the cookie crumbles.
I suspect that it would have something to do with margins or pad settings. If you do not define the margins or paddings in IE as zero explicitly, the browser will make up its own values and misbehave accordingly.
IE versions are really a tiresome ordeal to work with. I feel your pain.

Hi, sorry to do this but I cant find the problem I am having.*****************************************************
The address is http://www.pinkforlife.info/new/home.html
My site is structured with;
A header div
A container div, that contains, a content (left), and nav (right)
A footer div
In ie5 there is a gap from the containing div to the header, and footer.
Margins dont seem to remove this. But if I add a border to the container div on the top and bottom, it removes the gap on the top.
I dont think it is a box model problem but I could be wrong. I am using XHTML transitional for my DTD.
Thanks for any help.
