Positioning layers & trouble with table heights

Hello, I really hope someone can help me. I have just created a basic site - I have two problems that are bugging me at the moment.
1) I can't get rid of the extra spacing at the bottom of the pages. Some are really long and it looks a little lazy. I have checked everything I can think of, ie, return marks, table heights, but nothing seems to correct it. It's ok if I use layers, just when I convert to a table I get all this space underneath.

2) On a previous site I did, I wanted to use transparent gif's on top of text to create behaviours. This allerted me to a problem I get quite often now where layers, on preview, don't seem to be where I placed them - they are only slightly to the left or right or slightly higher or lower, but this makes all the difference when I am trying to get things positioned specifically.

Any ideas? I am using DW v4.01 on ME.
Anyones help would be really appreciated!

Question 1:

Choose "Modify">"Page Properties" then add 0 to the 4 margins. You'll end up with:

<body text=&quot;#666600&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFCC&quot; link=&quot;#666600&quot; vlink=&quot;#666600&quot; alink=&quot;#666600&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>

*******************************

Question 2:

Just select the text you want to use and in the properties panel(ctrl+F3 or &quot;Window&quot;>&quot;Properties&quot;) add # in the link box. Then you add your behaviors. If you don't want lines under your text (cause it's alink) you'll have to use a CSS.




p.s. In your tables, you have too many empty cells. Instead of using those empty cells, use a transparent gif (make one, 1 pixel by 1 pixel) so you can add space to adjust your elements in your tables. Have Fun...
