html email images showing white gaps but padding =0 ?

[jamiejohnson37]

We are having a continuing issue with our html emails.

The email is made up of 5 images within 5 tables. The padding & border tags are set to "0", yet the email still comes through with white gaps in between the images (as opposed to appearing as 1 solid image)?

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Jamie

You forgot to mention where you're previewing your emails.

They'll look different in gmail, yahoo mail, outlook, or in web-based email like Horde.

Hi there jamiejohnson37,

you can find a complete explanation of your problem here...

Images, Tables, and Mysterious Gaps [devedge-temp.mozilla.org]

Removing "white space" from your code can effect a cure.

So use this...

<td><img src="myimage.jpg" alt=""></td>

...instead of this...

<td><img src="myimage.jpg" alt=""> 
 
</td>

Personally I prefer to use CSS display:block or float:left. ;)

The email is made up of 5 images within 5 tables. The padding & border tags are set to "0",

set the images to "display:block;" in the style attribute if you can, also ensure that the <table> code has cellspacing=0 and cellpadding=0 attributes - put it in if it's not there as the default is about 3px IIRC - and also make sure there is no padding on any <TD> CSS code or whitespace in the actual HTML code in the table cells

[edit to add]just saw birdbrains reply - didn't mean to post same reply I have a problem with too many threads open this morning!
