I agree with the guys above, DIVS are the new black. I spent all my younger years designing in tables and become a master at it only to go to school this year and find out they are not the correct method. /sigh
Either way below is the code that fixes your problem.
Remember with Tables you must give them all border 0 spacing 0 so you won't get that 1px
Hope this helps
