Returns or Spaces in HTML Code - can cause extra spacing
problems in Internet Explorer; takes priority
over css settings; effects popular tags
- keeping the tags inline with the content
(especially the ending tag) and not using
any spaces or carriage returns fixes the
problem
Correct:
<td><img src="image.jpg"></td>
or
<td>
<img src="image.jpg"></td>
Incorrect (causes 3px
gap at bottom of image):
<td>
<img src="image.jpg">
</td>
or
<td><img src="image.jpg"> </td>
