Space between cells in a table

Hello,

 

I made a table like this :

<table id="floatMenuTable">    <tr>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section1.png"></a></td>        <td></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td></td>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section2.png"></a></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section3.png"></a></td>        <td></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td></td>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section4.png"></a></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section5.png"></a></td>        <td></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td></td>        <td><a href="constitutionLaw.html"><img src="Data/Main/Section6.png"></a></td>    </tr>    </table>

But when I render it on a browser, I get what's in the image attached (the cells have automatically been outlined by the software Brackets).

 

Do you notice the spaces between the cells? Why are they here?

 

I made sure no CSS property make them appear, so why are they still here? Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for your help!

There's no css in your script. You should do the css tuts. It doesn't appear so.

Table cells behave differently than the standard box model. The box model only applies to block elements, there are many other rendering modes than block, this is a list of all of them: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_display.asp

Thanks for the answers (and sorry for the late reply...).

 

I forgot to say that I had a css file and I had tried different margin a padding properties with the tables as well as border-spacing without any success.

 

However I might have skipped the "border-collapse" one because indeed I got those spaces finally gone after a new attempt. Thank you Ingolme for the tip. ;)
