image object:

Thevspace
attribute is similar to the hspace and provides a bit
of ‘breathing space’ above and below an object, although it is not exactly
a precision design tool, as Figure 1
shows.Figure 1. Image object with vspace of 30 applied (note the space above
and below image)
Value
A number representing the amount of spacing above and below the image in pixels.
Compatibility
Although support for this attribute is good, it’s now deprecated, and is highly presentational in its nature. The desired visual effects can all be achieved with CSS and, as such, this attribute shouldn’t be used—it’s presented here for informational purposes only.
