when inspecting a page with firebug, what is the yellow area below the highlighted element?

Viewed 16631

When I am using Firebug in "inspect mode" and the mouse hovers over an html table element, the visible content of my table is highlighted in blue -- like all other elements I have looked at using Firefox. However, there is also an area immediately below the table (past the last row) that gets highlighted in yellow. Does anyone know what that corresponds to? I would like to style the table so that space is not taken up by the table.

Many thanks for any insight

It's the margin value. Check it in style the inspector. In the style sheet view, you should then be able to retrace which style sheet and line the setting came from, and change it.

The yellow area represents the margin.
