Thank you for your help. I am slowly increasing my understanding of
what is going on here, I can see that it isn't easy, and I appreciate
the time you must have spent on it.

Ok, I've tried this. It still has the same problem.

I've done that (but it wasn't the problem that I wanted to fix).

Ah yes - that was an error. Now fixed. Thank you for pointing it out.

No, that wasn't my problem -

I have simplified the whole page, removing the javascript and other
irrelevant elements, and using a simplified stylesheet.

See http://www.files.maproom.org/00/18/a.html
and http://www.files.maproom.org/00/18/b.html

a.html looks the way I want it, b.html has unwanted vertical spacing.
The only difference is that b.html has a valid doctype, a.html has no
doctype.
