I dont\'t know why IE diplays that two examples different way:
example 1:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr style=\'background-color:red\'> <td><img src="nic.png" height="61"></td> </tr> </table>
example 2:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr style=\'background-color:red\'> <td> <img src="nic.png" height="61"> </td> </tr> </table>
