IE distortion with this table

[Mutley]

I have a problem with Internet Explorer enlarging table rows.

 

Here is a picture of both browsers side by side (IE is on left, Firefox on right):

As you can see IE has a grey sort of bar beneath the red one (same row) and each row is spaced. The code for the header section:

 

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
  <tr>
    <td class="header" height="100" width="80%" colspan="3"><center><h1>J.J.Metcalfe & Son</h1></center></td>
<td rowspan="3" width="20%" style="border:#000000 1px solid; background-color:#FFFFFF">

		<marquee scrollamount="3">
		<table class="productlist" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
		<tr>
		<?php	
		include('includes/sql_connect.php');

		$sql = "SELECT id, category, name, cpn, pn, description, descriptionf, descriptiong, weight, price, ofeatured, onew, osale FROM products WHERE ofeatured='1'";
		$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("SQL Query: {wordwrap($sql)}<br />Error because:  " . mysql_error());

		if(mysql_num_rows($result)!=0) {

			while(list($id, $category, $name, $cpn, $pn, $description, $descriptionf, $descriptiong, $weight, $price, $ofeatured, $onew, $osale) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
		?>
		<td>
		<center>
		<a href="viewproduct.php?id=<?=$id?>">
		<?php
			$filelocation = "images/products/$id.jpg";
			if(file_exists($filelocation)) {
			echo "<img src=\"image_thumbs.php?id=$id\" alt=\"$cpn\" />";
			} else {
			echo "<img src=\"images/products/noimage.png\" alt=\"No Image\" />";
			}
		?>
		</a><br />
		<font class="pn"><?=$cpn?>/<?=$pn?></font><br />
		</center>
		</td>
		<?php
			}
			} else {
			echo "No Featured Products.";
			}
		?>
		</tr>
		</table>
		</marquee>

</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="infobar" colspan="3"><center>Tel: 0044 (0)1609 771124 Fax: 0044 (0)1609 760635</center></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="searchbar" colspan="3"><center><? include('search.php'); ?></center></td>
  </tr>
  </table>

 

 

In the CSS it only changes font colour and style, nothing to do with the tables/padding.

Hmmm....

Run It Through The W3 HTML Validator

It's clean table wise, only errors are spaces and text characters.
