Tab Menu Alignment Problem

[Icehawk002]

I have added tabs to my test forum just like those here, unlike those here the tabs have a space between them and the Welcome Headers, I've looked and looked but I can't find a solution.

The code for the tabs is in the header template.

Anyway the attached pictures should explain the problem and the solution I am looking for.

Please help its so often the little things that bug ya

Cell spacing/padding maybe? You'd probably get better results if you posted your header template...

thanks, good idea da420 here is the current code in header template, also anything I should add reference browser compatibility?

<div id="topimg"></div>
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[cebter]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
