I'm working on HTML email template.
I created it with a few nested tables.
I found that there are spaces to the right of the images in Outlook.
So I tried to fix this, but it doesn't fix.
Finally I create a simple template depending on colored images which I create to make it possible identifying the table cells.
Here's my code (Please copy it and test on Outlook):

So, how can I remove the gap between cells ?
I'm appreciating your help.
After taking a look and testing in outlook with your provided HTML, I believe I know what you are experiencing, and it has to due with images.
First off, all the images in your HTML are not available so I had to test with my own images. These is where, I noticed the issue. My images were causing to email to expand beyond the specified width of 600. This is because for outlook if you are going to use width and height attributes for a element, you leave off the px part, it's assumed. I.E. 150 NOT 150px. As soon as I did everything snapped into place, no spacing issue.
I was only able to reproduce the vertical spacing/gapping on the right of the images after I forced one of the bottom images to have an exaggerated width, i.e. it's currently set to 150(same as the containing td), so I set it to 155. And bam! Got the spacing.
Meaning that your table layout/css is fine for the most part, outlook is probably freaking out because you are adding the px part. Either remove it or set the width/height with inline styling instead.

I made a html email signature, opened it up in browser where it looks fine, and pasted it into my gmail signature section, and each individual block has now got padding in between, and some of the blocks are side by side instead of next to each other.
Strangely by some fluke I managed to get it to look fine on outlook.This is what it's supposed to look like this https://postimg.org/image/uytldx3zd/
Here is the code i'm using- what am I doing wrong?
Any fix would be much appreciated,
Thanks

This is the image which am getting error in outlook 2013. Hi sir here am getting some issue in outlook 2013 so am sending screen shot kindly have a look and help me.!
You had some oversized widths in your email give this a try...
<table width="700" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
style="background-color:green;
border:none;
border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="300" align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="orange"
style=" border:none;
border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td width="15" height="170">logo </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="400" height="170px" align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#fffcf5"
style="background-color:#000000;
border:none;
border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
<td width="15" height="35px">emptyspace</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="red">
<td width="15" height="100">heading</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
<td width="15" height="35">emptyspace</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
in emails you'll need to add style="display:block;" to images for them to remove the padding
Add style="margin: 0px;" to all the tables, tr, and td because Outlook automatically adds a 1px margin round the tables if no margin is specified.
You might need to add padding: 0px; as well.
This is based on my own trial and error, please comment below if it doesn't work, will try and update my answer.
I am integrating an e-mail and it is tearing my hair out! My e-mail has a centered layout (I am currently using Ink's hero template). The problem is that my layout is not centered in Outlook Web app because this client does not support margin (so I cannot center my layout with margin: 0 auto;).
Here is a sample of my code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="header" valign="top" align="center">
<table class="container" width="580" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="wrapper last" valign="top" style="padding-top:10px;">
<img src="http://www.numeezy.com/img/numeezy-header.png" alt="Numeezy, l'hébergement professionel haute performance"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center">
<table class="container" width="580" align="center">
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
So, Outlook is not well rendering my e-mail because all my align="center" attributes are removed by Outlook.
<div style="width:100%;margin:0;padding:0;">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;width:100%;text-align:justify;padding:0;">
<tbody>
<tr style="padding:0;">
<td valign="top" style="background-color:#17303E;padding:0;">
<span style="background-color:#17303E;">
<table width="580" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;width:580px;text-align:justify;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding:0;">
<tbody>
<tr style="padding:0;">
<td valign="top" style="padding:10px 0 0 0;">
<img blockedimagesrc="http://www.numeezy.com/img/numeezy-header.png" alt="Numeezy, l'hébergement professionel haute performance">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="padding:0;">
<td valign="top" style="padding:0;">
<table width="580" style="border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;width:580px;text-align:justify;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding:0;">
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
My table which have a width of 580px should be centered vertically. I can "emulate" it in the developer tool by removing the margin: 0; style and adding an align="center" attribute. It may be a lead!
Thank you in advance for your help!
EDIT: Edited my code with the last version
Try putting align="center" on the child element (the table you are trying to align). Outlook can work slightly differently with align to other clients. It treats it like float on the element itself, while others treat it like text:align; on the parent.
Update:
You have a lot of unnecessary stuff in there. Here is a clean example:
<style>
table td {border-collapse: collapse;}
</style>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center" bgcolor="#17303E">
<table width="580" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#330000"><!-- colored so you can see it-->
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="padding-top:10px;"><!-- left aligned within centered panel -->
<img blockedimagesrc="..." alt="...">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center" style="padding-top:10px;"><!-- center aligned within centered panel -->
<img blockedimagesrc="..." alt="...">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is an example basic setup to start your email with. It includes all the must have email normalization and a centered panel + independent forwarding background color.
<element align='center'> has also caused me trouble in the past. The way around it would be to use position: absolute; top: 50%; bottom: 50%; or something like that, in which case you would need to set your table a height/width in percentage.
You could even use margins like you mentioned: margin-top: 50%; margin-bottom: 50%.
Hope I could help.
I am trying to create an email template like following. I have used table. I am able to do everything except the image is not displayed at proper position. The images should be displayed in middle and on top of the container(see screen 1), but I am not able accomplished it. I have tried to provide negative margin to container, but gmail and other mail services are ignoring the negative margin.
Here's what I was able to accomplishd till so far.
The code is present here. Can anyone please help with this?
Updated answer:
You can't use negative margin in html email. To mimic this, there are 2 ways to do it, the nested tables way and the more complex rowspan way:
<!-- The nested way -->
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><!-- coloring the whole table instead of just the cells you want, will stop gaps forming on forwarding from Outlook -->
<tr>
<td width="200" height="80" bgcolor="#007700">
<table width="100%" height="80" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="40" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="40" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="100" height="80" bgcolor="#4444FF">
<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="80" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
</td>
<td width="200" height="80" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<table width="100%" height="80" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="40" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="40" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="500" height="200" colspan="3">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br><br>
<!-- The fancy rowspan way -->
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><!-- coloring the whole table instead of just the cells you want, will stop gaps forming on forwarding from Outlook -->
<tr>
<td width="200" height="40" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
</td>
<td width="100" height="80" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#4444FF">
<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="80" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
</td>
<td width="200" height="40" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="200" height="40">
</td>
<td width="200" height="40">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="500" height="200" colspan="3">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Original answer:
For basic positioning:
Horizontally, use align="left|center|right", vertically use valign="top|middle|bottom"
Here is how to place an image center top of a table:
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<td height="500" align="center" valign="top">
<img alt="" src="" width="100" height="100" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
As I said:
If it was me i would make the top border and the image a row. – Alex

Change you top row to:
<td valign="bottom">
<b style="border-top-left-radius:5px; background-color:#fff; display:block; border:3px solid #a3a9ac; border-bottom:0; height:100%; margin:0; padding-bottom:20px; border-right:none;"> </b>
</td>
<td class="text-center" width="64">
<img class="top-image" src="https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/WPZOOM_Social_Networking_Icon_Set/64/gmail.png"> </td>
<td valign="bottom">
<b style="border-top-right-radius:5px; background-color:#fff; display:block; border:3px solid #a3a9ac; border-bottom:0; height:100%; margin:0; padding-bottom:20px; border-left:none;"> </b>
</td>
check out the result - http://jsfiddle.net/562ux.
I've not tested this in a email Client, but as #Kheema Pandey says, you should try to use inline styles.
It is a good practice to use inline style while creating newsletter. Also outlook doesn't support margin negative property.
in your case the image is not appear center so you can use a inline style here 'style="text-align:center;"'.
<td style="text-align:center;">
<img class="top-image" src="https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/WPZOOM_Social_Networking_Icon_Set/64/gmail.png" />
</td>
I have attempted to insert an html image withing an email (Outlook) to save as a template. I am finding that there is a slice that should repeat is not working correctly (to have the color extend to where the text ends). Is there someone who may be able to assist me in this matter? Below is the coding that I am using.

There are all kinds of style attributes that don't work in outlook (and other mail clients).
Here's a good guide: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/
