I have a banner image in a table (this is email so yes, coding like 1999.) IE9 is showing space around the image despite there being 1) cellpadding="0" 2) cellspacing="0" 3) there is no white space in the code between the tags and the tags 4) table width == table cell width == image width (all 600)
and the real weird kicker, when I apply hspace="0" fix, the banner goes from being aligned center (with equal 1px gaps on each side) to aligning left, despite align="center" applied to the tag. (image attached)
Here's the code (image path/alt has been replaced for legal reasons)
