    flippin heck has no-one ACTUALLY helped this dude... honestly!

    Right. Think of your table as a grid (muller brockmann style). Now even if you go over the grid lines into another cell the grid lines remain in place. So this is what is causing your whitespace problem. Basically the cells are pushing eachother apart.

    Let's take the top left cell if you look at it in relation to the bottom left three cells you can see that two cells make up the width of the top left one. I imagine you have the top left one to something like 'colspan="2"'. But this won't strictly work because the border in the table measures like 2 pixels... which causes a wee gap in the top cell. Think about it like this:

    top left = border|image|border
    bottom left = border|image|border|image|border

    Now apply that logic over the entire table and... BINGO you have gaps.

    make sense?

    no?

    If you want a hand with something email me and I'd be happy to help off list cause typing in this teeny box looks nice but is hard work!
