I'm stumped as to why my image wont butt up against the html table cell. I tried a number of things, but nothing has worked so far.

Here is the problem:

(notice how the globe img doesn't sit tight on the table cell)

Here is the html I have:

<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><tr>
<td valign="top"><img src="images/globe_cut.jpg" align="left" border="0"><br>

thanks in advance

Your "Marketing & Advertising Consulting" section is messed up from what it was, but it still works right?

align="left" on your image src tag is causing it.

Also, because topmargin; leftmargin is not a w3org compliant tag for the body tag, define the <body> tag in your CSS style sheet:

Code: 
body {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	background-color: #C0C0C0;

}

That way your body tag in your html should only have this now:

Code: 
<body ONLOAD="preloadImages();">

Trying to figure out why the align=left in your image src is causing it to do that

Feel free to do what you wish WizyWyg. My code output that I submitted doesn't match stvchez123's output, but it is close enough for his purposes on that page.

This is a good time as any to learn how CSS can help you out with layout problems, just like this.

I re-worked your entire page, but hope you can understand it better (in place of your flash i put temporary images that are the same size as your flash files in dimensions, just replace them with your swf files)

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Nicksic-Lampertz and Associates</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style/nla_style.css" type="text/css">
<!-- #INCLUDE file = "js/headerJS.shtml" -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) {  //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
  if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
    document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
  else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body ONLOAD="preloadImages();">
<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Your CSS style sheet should now contain new elements , redefined body tag, and #leftcontent / #rightcontent divs

Code: 
#leftcontent {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	width: 45%;
	background-color: #fff;
	left: 0px;
	float: left;
	position: relative;
	top: 0px;
}
#rightcontent {
	left: 0px;
	width:330px;
	background-color:#fff;
	position: relative;
	top: 0px;
	height: 275px;


}
td {
	font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight:normal;
	line-height: 13px;
	display: block;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;


		}
		

		p { 
			font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
			font-size: 11px;
			font-weight:normal;
			color:000000;
			line-height: 16px;	
			display: block;
			margin: 0px 10px 5px 10px;
		}
		
		h3 { 
			font-family: helvetica, sans-serif;
			font-size: 14px;
			font-weight:bold;
			color:000000;
			line-height: 0px;	
			margin: 20px 20px 0px 10px;
		}
		
		a { 

			text-decoration: none;
		}
		a:hover { 
			color: 9E0AA4; 

		}

		a.blue { 
			color: 2849EF;
			text-decoration: none;
		}		 

		a.blue:hover { 
			color: 9E0AA4; 

		}
		
		.note { 
			font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
			font-size: 9px;
			font-weight:normal;
			color:FFFFFF;
			line-height: 12px;	
			display: block;
			margin: 0px 10px 5px 10px;
		}
body {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	background-color: #C0C0C0;
	text-align: center;


}
