using IE5.5 on windows?

if so, it's an IE bug (and their fix is unwieldy, at best):

Internet Explorer 5.5 Adds Scan Lines Between
JPEG Images

-------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 for
Windows 98 Second Edition
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 for
Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 for
Windows 2000
-------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
If JPEG images are tiled horizontally, Internet
Explorer 5.5 may add an additional scan line
between the images that matches the background
color in Internet Explorer. This occurs only
during the download of images from a site. If
the images are cached or are on the hard disk,
this problem does not occur. The problem does
not occur with .gif images.

WORKAROUND
This problem does not occur with .gif files. If
possible, use .gif files as a workaround.

NOTE: If the jpg images are pre-loaded using
jScript, the extra scan lines may disappear
after the page finishes downloading.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in
the Microsoft products that are listed at the
beginning of this article.
