Why does this result in whitespace between the images?

<div style="border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">
<img src="images/logo.gif" width="150" height="66"
alt="" />
</div>
<div style="border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px">
<img src="images/logo.gif" width="150" height="66"
alt="" />
</div>

vertical-align: an non-floated image is on a line, and where exactly it =
is =

on that line affects how/what kind of space the line needs. Probably wit=
h =

the default 'baseline', there's some room reserved for characters like =

'g','j','y','q','p', characters which have some 'thingy' (help a =

non-native speaker out here...) below the baseline, which you could thin=
k =

of as the bottom of characters like 'o','c',etc.

Offcourse, your img's could have a default margin of their own, and ther=
e =

are UA's which erronously render whitespace in some circumstances....

It is called a descender.
