The images that are distorted in the tables below were coded
thusly in the td cells:

<td><img src="url of image" width="#" height="#"></td>

The images that are not distored in the tables were coded with one minor difference; one of the closing td tags in the entire table was "dropped" to the next line by using the "return" key---that simple adjustment cleared up the entire problem:

<td><img src="url of image" width="#" height="#">
</td>

Adding one blank space with the "space bar", after the image tag, clears up the problem also:

<td><img src="url of image" width="#" height="#"> </td>


Additional height is NOT added to the cell using either of the methods above for either webtv or 'puter viewers. See demo.

However, adding any text or an &nbsp; code immediately after one of the image tags will correct the problem, but that WILL add width and height to the cell which is unwanted if you are trying to place images "tight". See demo.


Note:  The vid-caps below were made with a Sony Webtv plus and a vcr;  the 'puter screen captures below were made with an iMac and Internet Explorer.

And another example of non-distorted images,
with one closing td cell "dropped":

and with a space after the image tag instead:

Without the "fix",
the images do not display correctly for the 2.7
but they view ok with
