random spaces

I tried to switch this page over to strictly using CSS, but couldn't make it work, so I decided to use tables for overall layout and incorporate CSS in where I could. I'm having a lot of trouble with extra space appearing here and there though, as can be seen just under my "header bar". If I remove the CSS formatting from the "addybox" everything lines up right, so I assume something in my CSS for the "addybox" is screwing things up. However I have a break before the footer too. Can anyone see what I'm missing? Thanks.The page

The first step is to check if your page validates - both as XHTML 1.1 and CSS. The CSS is fine, but there are a number of problems with the XHTML, the first being that there is an error in your doctype:

Warning Mismatch between Public and System identifiers in the DOCTYPE declarationThis document uses an inconsistent DOCTYPE declaration. The Public Identifier -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN declares the XHTML 1.0 Strict document type, but the associated System Identifier http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd does not match this document type.The recommended System Identifier for XHTML 1.0 Strict is http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd.

Fixing that might sort out some of your problems, since with an invalid doctype the page will probably revert to quirks mode.

I switched it to HTML 4.01 transitional and that took care of the spaces! I had to do a lot of editing to change the closed tags, but I got rid of most of the errors on validation. My Google custom search is still giving a couple of errors, but it seems to work and it's their code, so I think I'll leave it. Thanks.
