table cell space under image in IE

Has anyone had to address this problem before? I've created a table and placed an image inside. The image is around 12 pxl high and when the table is displayed in Mozilla the cell border is up against the image on all sides. On IE however, the top of the image is up against the cell border but the bottom has aprox 10pxl of space. It is only there with the images, only under the image, and only in IE (I've only checked v6). If anyone has seen this and has an idea of how to fix it, PLEASE let me know. I've tried setting cellspacing=0, cellpadding=0, and setting spacing to a range of sized to see the effect and the smallest size it will move to is approx 10pxls below the bottom of the image. Very frustrating! I know this is not exactly on topic but I produce all html by php and I don't want to go out and add myself to an html list (if there is such a thing). TIA Larry S.
