CSS to blame for gaps between squares?

Sorry, redundant thread. Problem solved - a couple of minutes after posting this. Isn't that always the way?!

then would you be so kind and tell us anyway? Maybe someone else has a similar problem now or in the future, and might be happy to find a solution right here. My guess is: Whitespace between block elements. Or reserved space for descenders, which can be fixed with vertical-align or display:block for the elements in question.

Very often, yes. That's because if you're going to describe a problem, you've got to think about it again, clearly and step by step. Doing that is always a good step toward the solution.

The problem was that I had designed an HTML table for producing a crossword grid. It looked okay on the screen, but when I tried to PDF it or produce a PS file, there were small gaps between some of the squares. The problem was solved when I realised I needed a "border-collapse:collapse" in the CSS affecting the table. Then the gaps disappeared on the PDF.
