A gap added in Gmail, inside a html signature from outlook
I've created an html signature I need to use in Outlook. Following recommendations, I've used a table layout, given all images and even td's, tr's and the table itself specific height and width, 0 padding and margin, and even tried adding those in both css and in the old-fashion way on the actual tags.
In outlook, it comes out right, but in gmail it adds a gap between the tr's.
Following the recommendation here: Gmail displaying gaps between images, I've tried to add style="display:block;" to the images, still no luck.
Here is the code I use:
<table cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" border="0px" width="592px" height="254px" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; padding:0px; margin:0px; width:592px; height:254px;">
<tr cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="592px" height="90px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:592px; height:90px;">
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="83px" height="90px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:83px; height:90px;"> </td>
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="150px" height="90px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:150px; height:90px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig2.png" width="150px" height="90px"></td>
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="359px" height="90px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:359px; height:90px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig3.png" width="359px" height="90px"></td>
</tr>
<tr cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="592px" height="64px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:592px; height:64px;">
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="83px" height="64px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:83px; height:64px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img style="border:none;" src="new_sig.files/sig4.png" width="83px" height="64px"></a></td>
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="150px" height="64px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:150px; height:64px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig5.png" width="150px" height="64px"></td>
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="359px" height="64px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:359px; height:64px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig6.png" width="359px" height="64px"></td>
</tr>
<tr cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="592px" height="100px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:592px; height:100px;">
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="83px" height="100px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:83px; height:100px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig7.png" width="83px" height="100px"></td>
<td cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="150px" height="100px" style="padding:0px; margin:0px; width:150px; height:100px;"><img src="new_sig.files/sig8.png" width="150px" height="100px"></td>
<td cellspacing="0px" style="padding:0px 5px 0px 15px; margin:0px; width:339px; height:100px;line-height:16px; font-size:12px;color:#4f4f4f;font-family:arial;" >
Name LastName<br/>
Description<br/><br/>
<a href="http://www.site.com" style="color:#0875a4;">www.site.com</a>
<img src="new_sig.files/phone_icon.png" width="18px" height="28px"/>
972-(0)3-6960556
<img src="new_sig.files/mail_icon.png" width="18px" height="28px"/>
<a href="mailto:[email protected]" style="color:#0875a4;">[email protected]</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now, the code gmail reads, apparently, goes like this:
<table width="592" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width: 444pt; border-collapse: collapse;">
<tbody>
<tr style="min-height: 67.5pt;">

</tbody></table>
I tried also giving the whole table line-height of 0, but that didn't work either.
The 2 images in the last cell, btw, aren't displayed in gmail for some reason.
update: didn't really notice this received more answers till now. we ended up simplifying the design/code a bit, and i stopped checking this page after a while. not sure if any of the solutions here would have worked, but i see they helped other people. thnx anyways :)

Solution worked for me is I sum up each and every solution given here
did something like :
<td rowspan="2" style="line-height:0">
<img src="images/myimage.jpg" width="426" height="183" alt=""border="0" style="display:block;" />
</td>
and it worked fine for me...

You mentioned that you tried adding style="display:block" to your images but I don't see this in your code. A couple of things fixed these situations for me in Gmail:
- Add border="0" and style="display:block" into every element
- When specifying widths and heights in attributes (rather than in the "style" attribute) don't include "px", just the number
So if you ensure all of your images are in the following format it should remove those gaps (assuming they aren't put there by incorrect height values).
<img alt="something" src="http://somewhere.com/image.png" width="35" height="35" border="0" style="display:block;" />

For table cells that only contain an image, set the line-height to 0
<td style="line-height:0"><img ... /></td>
( Email On Acid was a good tip. )

Try placing this in the head:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
p.MsoNormal {
margin: 0px !important;
}
-->
</style>
It should override the styling that unwillingly appears in Gmail.

Well, I couldn't replicate the problem by sending an email to my Gmail account, but I did see the problem while checking the HTML in the Opera browser.
Try adding vertical-align: middle; to the problematic <TD>. It did the trick for Opera.
That is, of course, without seeing the images, but the vertical align shouldn't brake anything.
