new line of html equals a space in the browser

Hi there I have a table (1 row , 1 column) that i am lining up some images in ie

[code=html]</table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src=”image1″><img src=”image2″><img src=”image3″><img src=”image4″>
</td>
</tr>
</table>[/code]

However because i have lots and lots of these images sitting next to each other, i would like to tidy up my code like this

[code=html]</table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src=”image1″>
<img src=”image2″>
<img src=”image3″>
<img src=”image4″>
</td>
</tr>
</table>[/code]

But the problem is when i do this , the browser interprets the carriage return between the images as a space and inserts a gap between the images when viewed in the browser.

Is there any way i can tidy up my code in this way without the spaces???

any help would be greatly appreciated
