Graphical integraton of the FA Latest News with my Skin

[NashChristian]

Hello,

I installed the FA Latest News hack, and it works great, but I'm having a little trouble with the graphical integration with my skin...

Ok, so I added the $latest_news line to my forum home template instead of the Navbar because I only wanted this on my home page. Only problem is that with the skin that I'm running, it was missing a shadow effect under the box, which all the other boxes on my page had. So I scanned the code and figured out which part was for the shadow effect. Please see the code below which I added into my forum home template:

$latest_news
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="70" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bot_left.gif" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
<td width="100%" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bot_back.gif)"></td>
<td width="70" align="right" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bot_right.gif" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

Everything works great with ONE SMALL EXCEPTION, there is a 1/4" gap between the bottom of the Latest News box, and the beginning of my shadow effect. It looks as though there is a <br> in there, yet I don't see any in the code.

You can reference my site to see what I mean: Click for Demo.

It is most obvious by looking on the left side, where the Latest News box ends, it also is extremely visible if you collapse the Latest News box. I've got a 1/4" gap in there and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Can any of you awesome coders out there give this newbie a hand PLEASE???

Thanks a bunch!
