Need help with html. Format changes when printing.

I created this listing: »detroit.craigslist.org/ctd/984033528.html.
It looks ok online but it is printing printing blank space between the border and logo/picture. Any ideas?

This is the code:

<center><table border="2" cellpadding="10px" cellspacing="2" width="61%">
<tr>
<td align="left">
 

<a href="http://jimdouglasautosales.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img 
 
src="http://jimdouglasautosales.com/Craigslist_Vehicle_Listings/CraigslistVehicleListingLogo.jpg" 
 
width="400" height="115.4" border="0"></a>

 

<a href="http://jimdouglasautosales.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img 
 
src="http://jimdouglasautosales.com/Craigslist_Vehicle_Listings/DealershipPicture.JPG "width="225" 
 
height="112.5" border="0"></a>

</center>

Re: Need help with html. Format changes when printing.

Issues such as this are usually remedied by providing an alternate style sheet which formats the page for printing.

I'm not sure what Craig's List allows, but if there's a way to link to an external stylesheet in the HTML head, you could probably put it on a server somewhere and it will be called when someone prints the page.

More on using a print style sheet here:
