The code can be modified, but I tried it out and substituted it removes the spaces...
I said ignore color, as well as other no-use codes, I just mentioned a complete line which was already on the codes of the page of bja...

Yes, in strict there should be no attributes, all CSS. Start with transitional and work up. You're right about height - best to avoid it. Oh, and also best to avoid inline CSS as much as possible. Use an external stylesheet with classes and ID's as appropriate.

That's what I wanted to do but I wanted the page to work in strict. And the validator was yelling at me for every attrabute except css based ones. So I took out all the html vaules and replaced them with style tags.
I noticed browsers arnt very agreeable when it comes to adding height attrabutes. I am tring to get out of the habit of useing them.

table{padding:0px;margin:0px;outline:0px;border-collapse:collapse;}' this is what I been useing.
The idea is to get rid of the lines not to make more. I added "border:0px;" and still no luck.

And I moved it so I can make a "about us" page in html.

All of that sould go in your css. Like this:

.tableclass {width: 95%; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 0; border: 1px solid #111111;}

Then all you have is

Best to do as much as possible in CSS.

bordercolor is an IE element.
It is not wise to mix HTML and CSS like that, one or the other.

Tables should not have a height, td's can however
Width should be set as html - width="95%" no need to use CSS for that
border-collapse and bordercolor should be set as a class element and controled via CSS, even the border and padding/spacing can be controlled via CSS (margin/padding).

It should be set out like:
or

Keep in mind a table with a width less than 100% will have issues with things under it, they may appear above or beside it if you do not clear the gap, either using a hr, clear all, larger table, div, or p etc

In both firefoz and IE its giveing me the same basic errors. I tried useing transtitional and look was basicly the same. I must be missing a style like margin or something.

strict isn't the best to use when you use tables for design (although it can be done).

Use transtitional to start with, then once you get the hang of CSS move on to strict.
It's really a waste of time using style="....." in html tags, CSS is meant to be a portable language so make class's and id's in a .css file and use class="classname" in your html tags, this way if you ever need to adjust something you just change your .css file and the whole site can be updated.

note, the page it should look like doesn't line up properly in firefox - the featured product title and image are over lapping
