Required no-end tags?

[Ben@WEBProp]

On a series of pages, I am using a textual tooltip script. I have discovered that when I use the mouseover technique to select "Main Message" from the mini-nav thing, my content div grows smaller. Before I go any further, let me give you the two examples:

Non-moving content (looks right, semanticaly wrong...) (http://www.users.qwest.net/~broadmoorapts/floorplans/rpfloorplans.htm)
Moving content (looks wrong, semanticly correct) (http://www.users.qwest.net/~broadmoorapts/floorplans/taylorfp.htm)

Alright, so I know that I have a bunch of <p>&nbsp</p> things in the script, but If I take it out of the script for spacing and place them on the page itself, then a large space is below the area where the picture and table shows up...

ANYWHO, HERE IS THE TRUE PROBLEM...The first example does not contain this set of anchors:
</layer>
</ilayer>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Without them, the page works fine in IE 6, but with them, the content div gets resized! Any ideas why the heck this would happen? Do the two examples have the same effects in different browsers?

Thanks for all the help understanding this phenomena!

Anyone? Nobody knows? Well, then I shall just leave the anchors off of these tags and hope it works X-Browser!
