The cause of whitespace is a whitespace. What I mean is that you can not
enter any whitespace characters between opening tag of table cell and
image tag and also no whitespace characters between the image tag and
the table cell closing tag. You also have to make sure that you do not
specify margins or padding for your image tags or padding for table
cells (including inherited from rows and table).

I'm not encouraging you to use tables for layout purposes, but I do not
know now how to do it with DIV tags but I know (I think) what's causing
your gaps when using tables.
