One pixel around borderless image in table

Hey,
I have an image in a table. I set the background color of the table to a
greyish blue, because the table is taller than the image and i want there to be
color below the image in the table. BUT ONLY in the table. The width of the
table is the same as the image. For some reason, there is one pixel of the
background color of the table around the jpg, and I cant get it to go away. I
tried cellpadding="0", but that didn't do anything. I also tried negative
numbers, but taht didnt do anything either. Am I SOL or can I put this image
in the table without having the background exceed the image?

Simple:

<table width="600" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="216" background="../../Images/tablebgcolor.jpg"><p><img
src="../../Images/Old Main.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="332"/></p>
</td>
<td width="374">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Note that I used the image of the background color instead of setting the
background color itself. In either case it's the same, and I can't get a
different result. Thanks for the help,

What happens if you remove the <p> tag around the image?
<p> tags have a default padding, so unless you zero that out or move the
image of of the <p> you'll get some spacing around it.
