header showing extra space

I have a header that is supposed to be 125px high. (I have a logo in the header
that is that high). However, when I view the header in a browser, it extends a
few pixels above and a few pixels below the logo. How do I fix this?
The header, and the whole page is inside a table. The header is inside a class
called .header
I tried specifying the height of the header, but that did not work, it still
goes to the size that it wants. I know I am just missing something. Can anyone
explain?

I don't see the problem in IE6. However, it is there is FF.

You might try adding the height you want to the class ".header" and see if
that works.

Also note that in FF, the flash movie keeps looping.

Hello,

What you're seeing is Firefox's default margin for the <p> tag.
Your header image and navigation is inside a paragraph <p>, and FF has a
different default margin for the <p> tag than IE does.

You can add this to your CSS:
.header p {margin:0px;}

or, of course, get rid of the <p> tag. :-)

You may consider defining a margin for the other <p> tags if you want the
spacing between lines to be more consistant cross browser. You can just add
something like this (adjust as desired):
p {margin: 2px;}

Take care,
Tim

Great. I got rid of the paragraph tag and I think it has been fixed. However, I
am a little worried about the comment that the flash loops in FF. I am
previewing it in FF and do not see it loop back. Is that possibly an older
version? If so, do you know how i fix that?
