Hey all,

I'm running up to a time crunch here. I'm completing a 'landing-page' for a real estate agent regarding this $8,000 government tax credit (don't get me started on her 'approach' to getting customers... she's paying the bills!).

I designed the landing-page she described in Fireworks, sliced it and exported it (really, the first time I've done that from start to finish). Fireworks exported into a table structure layout, and I know this is NOT optimum, but I didn't know if there was an option in Fireworks to change it to export in divs? Might make this simpler...

So anyways, if you go to the site in Safari you will see the site shows up the way I want it to.

If you navigate to it in Firefox, there appears to be a slight padding on top and bottom of the second 'row' of the table, creating a line through the somewhat inappropriately dressed real estate agent and then again at the bottom. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Then if we go to Google Chrome, the site will almost never load and I'll get that pesky droid looking creature that says the site is taking forever to load and asks if I want to kill it or wait. Thoughts on this one?

Finally, I'm assuming at least a few of you will be using IE, so if you might be able to take a look at the site through that browser, I can't get it on my Mac...

Thanks for any and all help!

The only way I can get rid of the spaces is to reduce the height of the Flash in two places from 362 to 358 so that it's less than the other heights:-

but I'm not sure if it's a complete cure.
