html email gaps appearing in gmail after table ends - html

I have an issue with HTML email where gmail is puts a gap after my tables. It has been driving me crazy and tried nesting my tables in all kind of different way. Here is my code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" yahoo="fix">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="margin:0 auto">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="600" style="background-color:#fafafa" bgcolor="#fafafa">
<table width="600" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin:0 auto">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="600">
<table width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#000000" style="background-color:#000000;margin:0 auto">
<tr><td>
<table align="top" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600" height="auto">

<td valign="bottom" width="600">

</td>

<tr>
<td width="600" align="center">
<img alt="" height="820" src="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/26000000/Garfield-garfield-26077854-262-256.gif" width="600" style="display:block;" />
</td>

<td width="600" align="center">

</td>

</a>

</body></html>
And this is how it looks like in gmail. I am trying to get rid of the black bar at the end of my html email. Seems to be very difficult...


Your HTML tags such as the table, tbody and tr did not close properly. I tried to send to myself via mailchimp with the updated one and no black bars I see from gmail's interface.
Updated one:

Why table boxes are not rendering in a row in Outlook?

I am creating a responsive email template for that I need 6 Books in a row.
The width of main table is 600px, books table width is 15% and red highlighted table (for space between tables) width is 2%. All tables are left aligned.
Email is working fine in browser but not rendering in properly in Outlook here is screenshot below.
There is 1px space around the red table, please suggest a fix so it renders in a row & works fine in outlook 2016 and also in other version.
Outlook 2016 Example
Note: I tried using single table with 6 <td> but it wasn't working in Andorid 4.4, so that is why I am using this table structure.

You can try the following code for table, I suggest you, not to use multiple tables inside a table, instead use TD.
It may resolve your issue.

Email HTML content is not centering

My email is comprised of a set of images - some full-width rows containing a full-width image, while other full-width rows contain two 50%-width images.
The single-asset rows are centering, but the 2-asset rows are not.
Any suggestions as to how to address this?

Responsive email breaks on smartphone email client apps

I'm editing a bought responsive email template. Below you can see the structure used.
The email is responsive on the web version and on desktop browser email clients. But when testing it on mobile email apps like Gmail, the structure breaks, and on Yahoo it displays the desktop version.
After cleaning up the code, and testing diferent versions... I think the problem is in the section where there is a background full width and then a normal width table with 2 images.
I tried putting the background on the top <table> and then on the <td> but it still don't work on mobile email apps like Gmail or Yahoo.
I don't know if I'm missing up something, or I'm doing something wrong. It only breaks on mobile email apps.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the code of the top section.
<table class="main-header" data-module="Header" data-bgcolor="Header" data-bg="Header" style="position: relative; opacity: 1; z-index: 0; background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vUQUDS-TL6Q/hqdefault.jpg); background-size: cover; background-position: 50% 40%;" background="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vUQUDS-TL6Q/hqdefault.jpg" width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Border wont remove in html table

I've got a HTML table with several cells inside, the border=0 property is set yet the border does not go away, what am I doing wrong?
<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td>
<br><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change the first cell spacing to 0
So here's the code:
<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td><br>
<br></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

HTML Email and Lotus Notes - Content is repeating

I have an HTML Email campaign that I have tested with EmailOnAcid.com. The email displays fine in almost all clients except Lotus Notes v6.5, v7, v8 :(
In Lotus Notes 6.5 & 7, at the end of the email, Lotus seems to repeat the email from the start again, so it looks like the same email has been put in twice, but it hasn't.
Is there a mimimum height for HTML emails in Lotus? (height of my email is around 474px).
I have specified height on all image elements and on tags.
In Lotus Notes 8, there is a minor problem; the lower part of the footer image repeats itself?
Does anyone have ideas as to what is causing these problems??
Thanks in advance.

It appears this might be an issue with the EmailsOnAcid testing system.
