    Unhappy I can't fix these gaps in a small table of images...

    I have a table of images that are links that operates as my navigation for a bigger site. Here is the code for a page with just the table for the navigation. It it 1 column wide and 6 rows tall. The images change their image on mouseOver by javascript. Anyway, I can't figure out why there is a break between each img / link. All pixel dimensions have been double and triple checked.

    You can see the navtest.html at www.upandawaytreehouses.com/navtest.html and the bigger site at www.upandawaytreehouses.com/index.html

    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    Re: I can't fix these gaps in a small table of images...

    I just fixed it myself!

    It all has to do with the spaces inbetween the <td> and </td>. There must be none. I don't understand this at all as I have been told, browsers ignore spaces in html code. All the same, once I took out the spaces, it worked. Like this:

    <tr><td><a href="about.html"
    onMouseOver="L1HandOver();return true;"
    onMouseOut="L1HandOut();return true;">
    <img class="ladder" name=L1 width="100" height=37" border=0 alt="L1" src="L1.png"></a></td></tr>

    Instead of this:

    <tr><td><a href="about.html"
    onMouseOver="L1HandOver();return true;"
    onMouseOut="L1HandOut();return true;">
    <img class="ladder" name=L1 width="100" height=37" border=0 alt="L1" src="L1.png"> </a></td></tr>

    This is not accurate. Browsers do not ignore spaces. What they do instead, is condense all spaces down to a single space (in essence ignoring everything after the first space) which is why you you have to use &nbsp; to put in multiple spaces.
