Help with tables and CSS

I have three columns and three rows images on my thumbnail page. My problem is I cannot position my thumbnail block (as whole), where I want it to be. The only CSS property that works for me is ‘width’. When I use width it spreads out my thumbnails.

Is there anyway I can position my thumbnail block in exact location without increasing the space in between the thumbnails..? ( in another words.. moving ...the whole block of three rows and columns left to right without increasing the space between the thumbnails. ) Does absolute positioning work with tables?

Thank you for any help that you can give me…

My HTML code…

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

  <title>Photography</title>

</head>



<body>

<table border='0' style='margin: 0px ; padding: 0px ;'>

  <td> 

            <span class='navlinks'><a href=viewgallery.php>Albums</a></span><font color=#ff0000> >></font>
