Sorry I wasn't exactly clear on my explaination. I believe it is a table design issue because i tried putting spaces between the image tags. i.e. <img ...> <img ...> <img ...> <img ...> etc... and the table was still been stretched. my solution has since been to force a <br> (using wordwrap) but I would rather force a space which i can do but this does not seem to cause the streching to stop. I guess it is my tables as my site is designed to fit any res and as such does not have set pixel width tables. back to the drawing board for me then i guess :)
