nav buttons move after bg image applied

After applying the BG image (the gray paw prints, a 154 x 76 px JPG) to the
left most <TD>, my navigation bottons move ever so slightly putting a gap
between each button. I don't want that small gab. As usual, it views fine
in DW but not when previewing in IE.

I just put the 4 buttons in a small table in the <TD>, but that didn't help.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Rule 1 - a background image can *never* affect layout.

It just cannot happen.

Try changing your code as follows -

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><a href="about.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image67','','images/content_05-over.jpg',1)"><img
src="images/content_05.jpg" name="Image67" width="155" height="50"
border="0"></a>
<a href="gallery2.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image68','','images/content_06-over.jpg',1)"><img
src="images/content_06.jpg" name="Image68" width="155" height="51"
border="0"></a>
<a href="order.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image72','','images/content_07-over.jpg',1)"><img
src="images/content_07.jpg" name="Image72" width="155" height="50"
border="0"></a>
<a href="contact.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image70','','images/content_08-over.jpg',1)"><img
src="images/content_08.jpg" name="Image70" width="155" height="51"
border="0"></a>
<a href="index.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image71','','images/content_09-over.jpg',1)"><img
src="images/content_09.jpg" name="Image71" width="155" height="50"
border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

and then remove all the whitespace between adjacent <a> tags.
