The browser is rendering spaces because of the carriage returns between =
the tags.  It's doing it in all of it, but you can't see with the =
vertical bars because you're coloring the background, and it's happening =
in the bottom section, but it's rendering it beneath the image.  To fix =
it, just remove all of the carriage returns between the <TR> and </TR> =
tags, like this:

<!--=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D TOP =
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D -->
<tr><td colspan=3D"3"><IMG SRC=3D"top.gif" width=3D"600" =
height=3D"60"></td></tr>
<!--=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D MIDDLE =
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D-->

I know it's not pretty, but it's product is...
