Try:
table {
...
border-collapse:collapse;
}
.... this suppresses spacing between table cells.

I found that setting column widths in <colgroup> and row heights
inside the <tr> tag doesn't always work reliably especially on older
browsers, some of your table content may expand the table...
If the thing you want to do its more like a page layout and less like a
conventional table, and you don't need the flexible, grid bag
layout-like behaviour of tables anyway, it's probably better to use
<div> and <span> elements combined with CSS styles instead.
BTW: this site seems to have decent online references and tutorials for
HTML/CSS...
