What's wrong with table height?

[xyzzy]

This is supposed to put a 1 pixel border around the image. Top, left,
right is OK, bottom is a lot thicker (3-4 pixels). What am I doing
wrong or is IE 6 buggy? TIA

<table width="642" height="482" bgcolor="#00ff00" cellpadding="1"
cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr align="center" valign="middle">
<td width="642" height="482" valign="middle" align="center">
<img src="a.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="" border="0">
</td></tr></table>

Putting the border around the image is the better way of doing
this...but...if you need to use tables for some reason don't put a line
break before/after the image.

<table width="642" height="482" bgcolor="#00ff00" cellpadding="1"
cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr align="center" valign="middle">
<td width="642" height="482" valign="middle" align="center"><img
src="a.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks but I need multiple nested borders via div or table.

Your original post did not state this. It appeared from your example that
the only reason you were using a table was to simulate an image border.

What sort of multiple nested borders?

<div style="border: thin solid blue;">
<span style="border: medium dotted red;">
<img style="border: thin solid green;"
src="a.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="">
</span>
</div>

Can we see the full markup in a url.

You're using Tables for the wrong purpose!
Read up on the hspace and vspace properties that can be added to IMG as
strawberries to ice-cream.

Sorry - you wanted to add _borders_ around the image. Forget the hspace and
vspace then - use nested spans in a div. But... no tables please for this.

Doh! Thanks.

Why not? Tried spans but rendering/refresh is unreliable in IE6 at
least.

URL ? Always better seeing the real thing, instead of 3 HTML lines...
