There are a number of ways to control table borders. Sounds like you want custom control over each cell. Something like:

<table style="border-collapse:collapse;"><tr><td style="border:2px solid red;border-right:none;">Image</td>
<td style="border-top:2px solid red;border-bottom:2px solid red;">Text</td>
<td style="border:2px solid red;border-left:none;">Image</td></tr></table>

Styles are best set in a style sheet but, this gives the general idea.

did I forget to mention that the text is a marquee? I edited it so it would fit my prefrences and now there is still white between marquee background and the two side pictures even after I defined no borders. Also, my marquee background and pictures are uneven-they are not straight with each other.

None of that should matter if you lay things out right. Your white space is probably coming from the elements/objects contained in the table, not the table itself (unless you goofed there). If the elements and/or their components are too large and/or if their style forces white space, they will display it. To redesign your page for you, I would need to see it. Some things of this nature require so much time that I cannot promise you that I will do everything it might take to see this through to a successful conclusion. I'll have a look though.
