Whitespace between tag elements is generally not ignored, it's
considered content, but condensed to a single space, depending on the
type of element that contains the whitespace.

Whitespace inside element tags (between attributes) is never rendered,
so you can make some code readability enhancements here.

So you can still format your code so it's easier to edit.  Perhaps like this:

<tr>
  <td><!--
    --><a href="career_services.cfm"><!--
      --><img
           src="../images/nav_career_services.gif"
           alt="Career Services"
           name="career_services"
           width="92"
           height="59"
           border="0"
           id="career_services"
           onMouseUp="MM_swapImgRestore()"
           onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('career_services', '',
'../images/nav_career_services_r.gif', 1)"
           onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
         ><!--
    --></a>
  </td>
</tr>

Although I hate commenting out whitespace, It's not as bad if you can
use server-side comments.
