    oh ok, figured it out. basically, the way the table rows are set up, the row with the picture in it + the row below it are trying to take up as much space as that one td on the left you have with rowspan = 2. so, they are splitting that height between them, evenly.

    to force the table cell with the picture in it to have less white space at the bottom, you have to give the cell below it (the one with rowspan=3 and colspan=3) a big height, one big enough to force it to take up that white space. i used height=3000, which is overkill, but it fixed it for me in ie8.

    have fun!

    • That worked. But I don't want to have a fixed height that would have to be changed with each page.besler
