When I add the <!DOCTYPE html> to my page, white spaces appear below the images on the page. Why does this happen and how can I get rid of them?

Thanks guys!
Here's the code...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>CPU_21397_2014-Holiday-Card_HTML_eCard_Working</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

whatever happened to your <body> after </head>?

Member Avatar for sam_pt

It's on line 10, no?

Member Avatar for cuzintone

It should be <html><head>..</head><body><table>...</table></body></html>

You also may want to look into CSS for layout as table usage for layout is strong discouraged.

I agree with cuzintone. You should also check your css codes to make sure that the codes are fine.
