ok, i got a quite strange problem, but i'll try to explain it:
i have made a PS image, sliced it, copied the html from IR and now im with editing the html-tables.

lets say, i have 2 columns and some rows. i made a quick schematic (a very quick one) to show you the complete table:



ok, the images in the left(red) column are sliced, so they stick together perfectly. the right(blue) column has no image in it. it shall be filled with text later on (which is exactly the problem). the right column has the attribut rowspan=4.

now i fill the right column with text, til the bottom and more. what happens to the images in the left column is, that the cells are stretched and the images dont fit together anymore. white space can be seen between them, which looks ugly.

how can i avoid this?

FYI: this works fine in NS6, i didnt actually have tested it with NS4 cause i dont have it installed.

im not very familiar with how ir does slices (i do all of mine manually)

check to make sure that the table dimensions are *exactly* how you need them (ie. the image heights added all together are equal to the table height). if you know your text will eventually get bigger, make the bottom most cell height=100% and set the cell to valign="top" (i recommend this anyways to accomodate different resolutions). this way, it will make all of your images snug together vertically.

hmmm. no. that still leaves a 1 pixel line of space between the images. but the idea is interesting, i'll keep playing with it.
any other ideas?

cant say more unless i can see the source/images.

i did have a problem with one of my sites with 2 images vertically (the horizontal images were fine). i had a small gap in ie 5.0 800x600 only (other resolutions were fine). i could not for the life of me find out what was wrong. it worked fine in other browsers. then i made the lower image 10px longer and it completely went away.

well, i would do it in another way.

first of all use height="with your imageheight" for the four tables with the images.
make a new table at the bottom of the table with the height="*".
