Good question... I dunno what is the answer. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I find an answer. You should email the people at iContact as they probably could give you help..

This is common when the close <td> tag is not on the same line as the image..

<td>.

<img src="/spacer.gif"></td>.

Should fix your issue...

Ahh I forgot about that lil issue good find afterburn..

Thanks afterburn. That did it. Do you know of any other similar issues with HTML where the tag can't be on another line?..

No the issue is the image inside of the table no other tags that I know of do that...

One thing I know of is that if you put a closing </font> tag, sometimes the last line of text will have a larger space above it than normal. I guess that is sort of the same thing...

Thats a result of HTML stardard. It says font tags can not span more than 1 line...

But that's OK, because you shouldn't be using the font tag anyway.

BTW, it's good practice to code in all lowercase..

Josh,.

Why shouldn't I be using the font tag? Is it deprecated? Should I be using span with styles for font changes?.

Also, I thought you were supposed to code in all caps for tags and attributes...

Yes, the font tag is deprecated..

It depends on what you want to apply the font to, but most of the type using a span is your best choice..

XHTML, which will most likely be the future of html, requires all tags and attributes be in lowercase...

I see. Thanks for the info Josh. I will start using lower case for sure then...

No problem..

But while we're at it, I'll pick out a few more picky things from your code..

It's best to put all styles into an external style sheet, and then call them onto the page through classes or id's..

And in order for the page to validate, you need to specify alt text for your image...

Once again, thanks for the input..

I find it cumbersome to put style tags that you know you will only be using in one place in a separate file. The reason you have separate files is for easy reuse. I find that it's best to work as much in one file as possible, as long as it doesn't damage the portability of your site...

And I would agree with you. But it saves on load time and bandwidth usage if you put all styles in an external style sheet..

I think I also heard somewhere that xhtml 2.0 won't allow inline styles. Could be wrong though......
