Table Problem

Hi,

I guess the best way to start is to give you the link so you can see
what I'm talking about.

http://hockey-pool-test.homedns.org:800/messages/information.php

On the graphic that says Posted By you will see a small blue line above
it. This should not be there. On the following boxes there is a straight
black line near the top (which is also a graphic). This should be right
at the top with nothing above it. I know why they're there, but not sure
how to fix it.

I have used nested tables - in the first part of the table there is a
background image - which is what you are seeing above the Posted By and
the Black Line. I know I'm close, but obviously just missing something.
I have pasted the relevant code below. Note that there is PHP code as I
am using a MySQL database to retrieve some data. I hope I have explained
this enough.

Thanks for any help.
