First off, Im a Newbie!
I have just began making skins and still am not to familiar with things but here is my Goal / Problem
I am trying to make this design.
There is a Logo on the top row of the skin table
the next row is divided into 3 coloms, Left Col is for the menu, Middle is for a "cap" on the end of the menu, Right has the login and registration links and has a background image that should blend right into the logo row BUT is DOESNT, there is a blank space
here is the code for that
<table height="100%" width="800"  border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="SmartnerBoarder">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3" height="100%">&nbsp;<dnn:logo id="dnnLOGO" runat="server"></dnn:logo></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td style="height: 19px; width: 1px;"><div align="left">
    <dnn:MENU id="dnnSOLPARTMENU" runat="server" leftseparator='<img src="CompanyWhite_links_menubg.gif">'
            leftseparatorbreadcrumb='<img src="CompanyWhite_hover_menubg.gif">' rightseparator='<img src="CompanyWhite_links_menubg.gif">'
            rightseparatorbreadcrumb='<img src="CompanyWhite_hover_menubg.gif">' rootmenuitemactivecssclass="MainMenu_TabMenuItemSelHover"
            rootmenuitembreadcrumbcssclass="MainMenu_TabRootMenuItemSel" rootmenuitemcssclass="MainMenu_TabRootMenuItem"
            rootmenuitemselectedcssclass="MainMenu_TabMenuItemHover">
        </dnn:MENU></div></td>
    <td style="height: 19px; width: 21px;"><div align="left" class="menuEndPiece">
        </div></td>
    <td style="height: 19px" width="334"><div align="center" class="bottomConcave">
        <dnn:LOGIN id="dnnLOGIN" runat="server" CssClass="Login"></dnn:LOGIN><b> :: </b>
        <dnn:USER id="dnnUSER" runat="server" CssClass="user"></dnn:USER></div></td>
  </tr>

The other thing is that I want this skin to remain at 800px no matter the content, which I am not able to do?
also How do I get the menu to not increase in lenght past a certain point?

Sorry for being such a newbie
Thanks in advace to anyone who can teach me
