Row spacing

Viewing the code below in IE displays spacing between the rows. I'm
specifying no borders or spacing, and there's no disjointing in
Mozilla. What else is there? I want to join the rows.


<table border="0" cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' width="720" cols="2">

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<a href="index.html">
<img src="images/banner.gif" border="0">
</a>
</td>
</tr>

<tr valign="top">
<td width="130">
<img name="navigate" src="images/navbar.jpg" border="0">
</td>
.....

If you don't sepcify, the browser gets to apply defaults.
And defaults vary by browser.

Specify 0 for margin and padding (CSS) if you don't want any.

You haven't provided a URL, so its very hard to say. My guess would be that
there is no space between the rows, but there is between the bottom of the
images and the bottom of the cell that the image is in.

That doesn't look like tabular data anyway, so

Cellpadding is set to 0 in the table attributes. Tried both in the
stylesheet and still get the same spacing in IE. Don't have it in
Mozilla.

Good thought, I tried setting the valign property to "top", but IE
still still shows the spacing.

Here is the code on the Web. If you folks could have a look at it and
make a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

The JavaScript or the noscript tag? Removing the header makes no
difference.

Requiring JavaScript to use a site is a bad idea. Use it for
enhancements but not for anything critical, especially navigation.
More and more people are turning it off for security reasons. And then
there is the number one reason: the Googlebot does not read it.

I was not addressing your row spacing problem, rather pointing out a
design problem.

No doctype!
Quirks mode.
Bad idea.

Try using a doctype. I bet you then see the same issue in Firefox and IE. Or
they both look nice. One or the other. ;)

Interestingly enough, when viewing with Firefox, doing a view source and then
hitting back shows the same space problem as MSIE.
I think what you want is to use a doctype and to set the padding and margin
of your image(s) to 0.

I don't know of any image padding or margin properties. Is there
something I'm not aware of?
