Unsual padding in a website

The code below was written by some one else. Instead of using div architecture, he has used tabular architecture. Now after the menu options end, there is a space in between the content of the page and the menu. I have seen the code many a times, checked the stylesheet for padding or margin and observed all the possible reasons that could have caused it but was unable to find the reason for this space. I even tried margin-top:-100px; in the content area to see if it moves above but it still did not moved. I would be very thankful if someone can help me out with it. The website is here.Thanks in advance. Here is its code,

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Lorem Epsum</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<link href="style7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script language="Javascript">
if (document.images) {
     button1 = new Image
     button2 = new Image
     button1.src = 'images/contact.png'
     button2.src = 'images/contactR.png'

     button3 = new Image
     button4 = new Image
     button3.src = 'images/investor.png'
     button4.src = 'images/investorR.png'

     button5 = new Image
     button6 = new Image
     button5.src = 'images/associate.png'
     button6.src = 'images/associateR.png'

     button7 = new Image
     button8 = new Image
     button7.src = 'images/services.png'
     button8.src = 'images/servicesR.png'

     button9 = new Image
     button10 = new Image
     button9.src = 'images/about.png'
     button10.src = 'images/aboutR.png'
 }
</script>

<script type="text/JavaScript">


function SendMemId(ID, Name)
{

    var MyElement = document.getElementById("tester");

    var MyName    = document.getElementById("MyNames");

    document.getElementById('MyNames').innerHTML = (Name);


    MyElement.value = (ID);

    return true;

There you seriously need to reconsider the Option of Starting over and if not then Please also see the Javascripts and Jqueries included which may dynamically make changes to your CSS or styling properties..

A few quick comments.

First, I have no idea why you have two:

  background="images/bg_content.jpg" width="903px" height="477px"

in the heading. Someone does not know what they are doing.

Second, I did note that the content adds up to 430 and yet you have your background image set at 477px, e..g, "background="images/bg_content.jpg" width="903px" height="477px" - that might be the cause.
