Why is there a gap in this string?

Head out to http://www.countryshowdown.com and you'll see a scrolling text marquee at the top. It works great but I want to tighten things up a bit so there's no gap between the beginning and the end.

How?

Source code is available just by looking at the site...

are you using <br> inside your marquee statement?
Have you tried applying one (or both) of these

letter-spacing:-1px
word-spacing:-1px;

 on td.marquee?

I see a scrolling text marquee but it is not at the top.  It appears to be below a banner that is perhaps 200 - 400 PX high.  Is that the marquee you want us to look at?

In the iemarquee2 section I put, "margin-left:0;" and BAM, problem solved!

Thanks!
Glad to help you. Let me do an 'errata corrige': to clear the previous float statement and return to the normal document flow you have to set the clear property to both

<div style="clear: both"></div>

Cheers
