In the following web page, there is a gap of a few pixels between the image and the div. (I've tested in Firefox 3 and Safari 4.)
How can I close the gap?

The image is an inline element, so it's placed on the base line of a text line. The gap is the distance between the base line and the bottom of the text line (I.e. the space needed below the base line for hanging characters like "g" and "j").
Make the image a block element, and the gap goes away:
display: block;
Delete the line break between your image tag and the div tag.
