Now odd misalignment in IE7, but fine in other browsers.

Had a recent problem with cell misalignment due to too much content in one. Stupid problem, easy fix thanks to someone on here.
Now, similar problem with different browser:
In Firefox and Chrome it looks great, but now in IE 7 there's a tiny gap between the top half cells and the bottom half. You can see it if you look at the daisies on the right.http://server0.nszoom.com/~girlscou/index.php
I've checked all form elements, and made padding and margin 0. I've even completely removed the content of various cells, but that made no difference. Leaving me to believe it's a problem in some DIV's padding or a spacer size--but the spacers are the right size and playing around with setting margins and paddings to 0 have not fixed the problem.
Since it's not happing in FF this time, I can't use Firebug to roll-over the elements and see exactly which one is too big and pushing on the rest.
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks.

I've still been playing around with cell content, and I simply can't find anything that's pushing the cells to create that little gap.
It's really not a big deal, barely noticeable, and only in IE. But I still would love to find a solution.
Anyone have any ideas? I know it's like asking others to help search for a needle in a haystack--but, well....
Thanks.

Hmm, just downloaded and installed IE 8 (beta 2). Looks fine in that! But the gap reappears in IE7 "compatibility mode".
Well, since it's not there in any other browser, barely noticeable in IE7, and it's fixed in 8 (and when it goes gold it's going to be forced on all Windows users anyway), I'm just not going to worry about it.
Except, I'll always know there's a problem in my page...somewhere. Nagging at me like a single tell-tale dead pixel on a big screen TV....

Oh. My. God!
If anyone's watching this thread, get this.
That cell in the top mddle with the large image...it used to be:
Quote:


<td colspan="2">
<?=$img_main?>
</td>


Then I simply took out the carriage returns and spaces in the source code:
Quote:


<td colspan="2"><?=$img_main?></td>


And now it looks fine. Gap gone.
IE7 SUCKS!
Anyway, it's fixed. Thanks for reading, anyone.

IE7 has many issues. My javascript that works fine in ie5, ie6 and ie8 doesnt work well in IE7. I hope they roll out IE8 soon and force everyone to upgrade if on IE7
