They leave no gap in IE, but no matter whatever I try to add to force them together in Mo/NS7 they always leave a nasty gap....
example of code..
<BODY marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<TABLE border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<TBODY>
<TR bgcolor="#000099">
<TD class="headerNavigation" align="right">PHONE NUMBER
</TD>
</TR>
<TR height="80px" valign="bottom">
<TD align="center" valign="bottom">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="700" height="80">
<PARAM name="movie" value="http://blah.com/header.swf">
<PARAM name="quality" value="high">
<EMBED src="header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="80">
</OBJECT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<div align="center">
<table border="0" width="100%" height="5" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#006699">

<td width="65%" align="left"> <a href="http://blah.com/default.php"><font color="#ffffff" face="Arial" size="1">Services Catalog</font></a> </td>
<td align="right" class="headerNavigation">

</td>
</tr></tbody>
</table>
</div>
The header is pulled into any one of several different apps depending on whether it is CMS/eCom/forum/etc. and the <div> may or may not be part of it depending on app...
any ideas on how to close up the gap?
Also, what DTD are you using?
4.01 Trans (not by choice, just the most common amongst the various php apps I am using, can't really go through and rewrite 50,000 lines across 4 different apps to validate for Strict.. most don't even validate 100% Trans, but are close.. things like missing alts for tables are rampant...)
I can say that the problem only shows up with flash... versions of the header in html with <TD> tabs end up flush with either.... one of a litany of reasons why I generally don't use flash, but, my header is on the light side of 15k with just enough elements to show off a little skill without swamping dialup users, and given my market, I need a little flash to help make the sale these days..

OK - so the <object> element becomes more suspicious. Try adding this attribute to the <object> tag:
style="margin:0;padding:0;"
If that doesn't do it, you might also add display:block; to the style attribute
style="display:block;" nailed it down where it should have been...
