Trying to build a new menu, need help with css. Please

[hyperionx]

Alright so I have a phpbb2 forum that is bridged with coppermine photo gallery. So I thought I'd made a menu that looks the same on both pages. Easier said than done it seems.

The table seem to have some sort of padding on the top on phpbb2 and not on coppermine. I'm guessing that its something in the css because it seems that more tables on the forum have the same look.
I want to do something about it. I'd rather leave everything be except for that table for the menu but changing them all would ba an option aswell. I just want the menus to look the same.

I want to turn this:
