IE problem - leaves mysterious vertical gap in the layout

Hello everybody~

I'm having a code problem that I just can't seem to fix - everything works fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer it screws up badly.

The sidebar of my layout, using a normal valign="top", does exactly that not, but instead has a huge gap in IE.
I think the actual problem is that the table-row with the photo in it stretches out in IE, but I have no idea why because the height is properly set. here is my piece of code of that part: the php-part is already below said gap, as you can see in the screenshot.

http://www.summershadows.org/ - that page did not take me to the page with the doll on it. What is the URL so the entire source code can be viewed?

I I got it - for some reason, the URL is incorrect in your message but I went to http://loubli.summershadows.org/ and that said the page cannot be displayed

ack, sorry, first, I typed the URL in my post wrong, very smart of me (corrected now).
as for that suspended page, that just happened only now, it's as it seems a problem with one of the banner-rotations, I just took it off.

Can you just basically have a two column layout and the position everything accordingly withough using all those colspan?

I deleted a lot of the text in the left one and it seemed to look correct. Or maybe even just use layers all the way instead of tables? I would ask the guys and gals over at International Web Developers Network to have a look since you have mixed both and maybe they would be able to provide some other ideas as well.
