Table Spacing?

For some reason I cant get rid of the spacing at the top and the bottom of this table, any suggestions. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#C0C0C0" width="732" id="AutoNumber1" bgcolor="#1F3C55">
  <tr>
    <td>
    <p align="center">
    <img border="0" src="/pix/small/5897961.jpg"></td>
    <td>
    <p align="center"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-9433563858228418";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
//2006-10-13: Header
google_ad_channel = "5307936293";
google_color_border = "1f3c55";
google_color_bg = "1f3c55";
google_color_link = "0066CC";
google_color_text = "799cb0";
google_color_url = "799cb0";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script></td>
    <td>
    <p align="center">
    <img border="0" src="/pix/small/mahone2.jpg"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

i copied it locally and never got the spacing like you have in the picture.

It's possible you have a doctype set on the page that gives that spacing.

One thing you can try is to change this code:

<td>
<p align="center">

to

<td align="center">

since you dont even close that <p> tag properly with another </p>

 

It's easier if you ger rid of the <p> tag and centering this way

<td align="center">
</td>

or 

<td style="text-align:center">
</td>

Code (markup):

However the problem could be the table, so try this instead:

<table style="padding:0; background:#1F3C55; border:1px solid #C0C0C0;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Looks like that was the problem, but now it seems that it added two bars on each side of the image. Thanks!
