Recently I purchased a 19" video monitor on which I visualized on 1280x1024 pixels resolution sites I designed .  
I noticed that there are “gaps” on some horizontal stretchable tables :  
(see the pict to be aware of what I mean )

> …

\<table border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0” width=“700”\>  
\</table\>

```
&lt;/td&gt;

```

The gap on pict corresponds to the row below :

```
&lt;td width="41%" background="images/index3c/downbar3b.gif"&gt;&nbsp;

```

\</td\>  
\</tr\>

I tried in vain to adjust width to a lower percentage ;  
What´s the solution ?
