Extra vertical space in FF2

Question

http://www.emergencypettemecula.com/temp.html
I am using an image at the bottom of this page to simulate a
drop shadow. In
IE6 this displays perfectly. In FF2 there is a small vertical
space between
the #footer div and the image. I can't see where the space is
coming from. I
have set margin:0 for img in my CSS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Walt

If you CAN write clean an efficient code theres no difference
in how a
page performs whatever the doctype as long as it complies. If
youre not
well versed in writing clean and efficient code its probably
not a good
idea to use a strict doctype.
In the end you either know how to write good html/xhtml OR
you don't.

Not really. I can write validate and compliant code that
works x browser
without using a 'strict' doc type.

Transitional is far more applicable for beginners in my
opinion. I guess
you're the kind of person that would set out for the North
Pole before
being fully equipped with the knowledge you need.

Enough said. What appears in the browser is what really
counts.
