HTML5 Table Spacing Issues
Question
I'm trying to get all of these images to line up in a table. For some reason it is adding extra space at the bottom of the cells. I've tried all of the different solutions that is suppose to fix this spacing issues.
What it's supposed to look like
Here's a look at my HTML5 code as well:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta charset = "utf 8">
<style>
table{
border-collapse : collapse;
border-spacing : 0;
border:0;
}
tr,td{
border-collapse:collapse;
padding : 0;
border : 0;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="tableImages\ul.gif" alt ="1,1"></td>
<td colspan = "2"><img src ="tableImages\top.gif" alt = "1,2"></td>
<td><img src="tableImages\ur.gif"alt="2,2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan = "2"><img src="tableImages\left.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
<td><img src="tableImages\1.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
<td><img src="tableImages\2.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
<td rowspan = "2"><img src="tableImages\right.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="tableImages\3.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
<td><img src="tableImages\4.gif"alt="2,1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="tableImages\ll.gif" alt ="1,1"></td>
<td colspan = "2"><img src ="tableImages\bottom.gif" alt = "1,2"></td>
<td><img src="tableImages\lr.gif"alt="2,2"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body> </html>
I've come to the realization that the problem lies within HTML5, because if I remove <!DOCTYPE html> (meaning that the browser won't read it in 5) I don't have this problem.
If anyone could help me, Thank you very much!

So after some fiddling around to reproduce the problem, i found what is wrong ( here a JSFiddle of the problem ).
an image is by default displayed as a inline-block , this means that the height is calculated according to the font-size. It is expecting a font, so it has a font-size by default ( see this answer for more info ). There 2 ways of fixing this.
Make the image display as a block-element
Simply change the property display to block
img {
display: block;
}
Explicity note that there is no font inside the cell
Simply change the font-size to 0
td {
font-size: 0;
}
Note that i used the first <td> only as example, this should work with all of them
