which images are getting the extra white space? is it space at the top and bootom or left and right? What should it look like?

[suess0r]

The space is on the top and bottom... you can view it at: www.myclub411.com/custom.php and you'll see the images all f'd up. Thanks so much!

There are 50 validation errors for that page. Maybe if you fix those, it'll look fine.

[suess0r]

But where on the CSS would there add the padding or whatever on the top and bottom to the images?

As Jesirose noted in the mis-placed double post, [b]by default[/b], tables have a cellspacing of 1px, and a  cellpadding of 1px ... it's not your CSS, it the way you have coded the tables. Try fixing the errors, and recoding.
