Just use a <table> tag with no predetermined size.

There are other factors that determine table cell size -- such as the size of other cells in the same column (for width) and row (for height). However, looking just at the cell and its internal area, you would specify the following to get the cell to hug its content tightly:

<td style="padding:0;">

This, of course, presumes that the content itself has not specified any outer margins. Thus, you may want to specify the following style setting in the primary tag for the content.

style="margin:0;"

Or just <td cellpadding="0" cellmargin="0">

Deprecated. ;) However, cell margin is for the spaces between cells -- not the spaces inside the cell padding where the content has a margin. For example, place a FORM inside a table cell and you'll still have extra space in spite of that specification you gave.

You mean that red I guess?

just do this
style="border:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;

Now if this still leaves a border make the margin negative, -1px for the right margin of the left will stretch the cell and cause it to overlap the space.



hebrew looks cool.

As I said previously... There are other factors that determine table cell size -- such as the size of other cells in the same column (for width) and row (for height). In your case, you've got to also consider the height of the image, buttons, input fields, and dropdown box, too.
