I would go with XHTML transitional or strict or HTML 4 strict. That  
isn't a CSS/jquery issue though. Your spaces shouldn't be happening.  
There is something wrong with the way you have it implemented. Can you  
give us a URL so we can see it? I would bet the farm that it is a  
simple fix.

You shouldn't have white space however you have your code. There is a  
white space bug in IE, but that shouldn't case space between divs.

Eeeek. Please, no. Before you toss the baby out with the bath water,  
give us an example of what you're trying to do.
