@afigueroaAug 11.2007 — the space between the <td>'s and <tr>'s are resulted from colspace - <td> and rowspace - <tr>. you can change the values associated (there is a default depending on what browser you're using).

@afigueroaAug 12.2007 — the values used in cellspacing/cellpadding should be 0px, always define a unit of measurement

@Major_PayneAug 12.2007 — The code given has 33 errors. Without a doc type, IE is working in Quirks Mode which is a guesstimate on how to parse and display your table. IE always puts in padding/margins because it's the nature of the beast. Remove the semicolons between attributes unless you go to inline styling. Better, make a CSS for the styling and add the universal selector at the very top:

  • * { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; }


    • This will clear all values before your styling takes effect. Mainly, correct your code, add a doc type and put in the Universal Selector style. Then see what you get.
