Really fast table spacing question!
 
I have a table width of 675, which is 25 pixels larger than the two images across. (I want a gray border down each side of the table.)

These two images across have a small gap between, the same goes for the YouTube embed section.

I just want to --><-- push the images together so its a clean invisible divide. The two box arts will be separate links, and the YouTube video has to be surrounded by spacers so its looks as one.

And here, where it is three across. One image, a video, and another small image.

Quick response would be really great. I have come here in the past for help, and I really appreciate it!

Says there was a reply, but I don't see it?

First of all, your use of tables is not correct, because using tables for layout is stupid. Tables are meant to structure data, not create a page layout.

That said, we can’t really help you unless you provide us your code.

It's really not that stupid... I make email newsletters. Tables display better in older browsers.

What is the base URL? We can't see the images because we don't know what domain to prepend to the image URLs.

Oh, never mind, this is an email, not a site!

I replaced all your images with one of mine, left your dimensions to resize them, and they fit together fine, no gaps. As a matter of fact, there is no background showing around them except once further down on the left (where there's a spacer at right).

Sorry, not sure what the problem is.
