Oh, but wait!
I just had another look at your page. Bad boy, no donut. You have:
body,table { margin: 0; padding: 4; }
4 what? Donuts? Automobiles? [Hobnobs?]
You said you wanted to remove all the space above the table, so that
would be zero. Anything other than zero requires units. 4px ... 4em ...
and "padding: 4px;" will add it all 'round. If you only want it on the
sides, use: "padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px;"
(Yeah, I know the shorter way, but I don't want to confuse Ragman.)
