Your programming style is very sloppy.
Your creating white space.
Get rid of all the blank lines and keep your <td></td>'s grouped together.
Do not break them apart unless you absolutely have to.
Or until you understand what creates white space and what does not.
Also, don't rely on creating white space to work all the time,
as all browsers do not handle white space the same.
Instead, use an HTML element like <br />, <p>, <span> or <div> to create white space.
And/or use CSS to adjust margins and padding to create white space.
Try it like this and see if the results are any better.
