Cross Platform Issue

I designed a site for a client that looks and works fine in Internet Explorer on the Mac. It even looks ok in Netscape on the PC. Unforturnately, it doesn't look good in Explorer on a PC. The html text extends down beyond the interface background.

The site is

Any help or feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

First of all get rid of:
< p>< /p>
near the bottom of the code. Many browsers will collapse empty cells and paragraphs - IE on the pc will create space for empty elements.

If that doesn't make enough room i would recommend setting the top and bottom margins to zero, then add the attribute of valign="center" to your table and set a html 4.01 transitional doctype by using this as the first line of the page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

A scrict doctype would result in the valign="center" attribute not working. Currently you don't have any doctype which can give unpredictable results.
