I have the cell padding and cell spacing set to 0, there is no margin or padding. And i still have this fine white line between all my table cells as if I have a border.

Here’s the link: [www.krisgosser.com/gruber/site2/contact.htm](http://www.krisgosser.com/gruber/site2/contact.htm)

Anyone know whats up?

Oh yeah, and the table cell heights won’t do what I want them to. For example, the bars above the body cell with all the info won’t shrink to 5 pixels. Is that because the widths are in percentage?

You need to set the cell spacing and cell padding values in the table to 0. To shrink the cells down to 5 pixels you will need to put “spacer” images in there. The spacer is a blank 1px \* 1px transparent gif.

```php

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"></td>
    <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

```
