Code:
<html>
<body>
<!--[if IE]>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  alert("It appears you are using Internet Explorer, this website is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox.");
</script>
<![endif]--> 
<center>
<table width="760px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><img src="images\banner.png"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="196px"><img src="images\buttons\button_home.png"/>
</td>
<td width="564px">
<font face="arial">Content goes here</font></td>
</tr >

<td width="196px"><img src="images\buttons\button_planning.png"/>

</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>
 
Tables are for the displaying fo tabular data not for site layouts, google for some CSS layout scheme help.

As for why IE is displaying the whitespace, if you were to remove all the carridge returns from your source I'd put money on it displaying 'correctly', but again, use CSS for the layout not tables.

Ive been told not to run before i can walk. Somone told me to learn tables first.. :confused:
