rows and spans

[Andrew Mutch]

I'm stuck on some code that is creating white space where I don't want
it and even after pouring over it several times, I still can't figure
out where it is coming from.  I have three rows that create a "shade"
effect - one row is black, one row is dark grey and one row is light
grey.  For some reason, the browsers are inserting a band of white above
the black row which is NOT the effect I want.  You can see this visually

Anyone have an idea of what is causing this?

Thanks!
