Minimum table height ?

[WoozyDuck]

Hiya all

Ive tried to set the height of a table to 5 pixels or something
but its not possible! the minimum size of a table's height is
something around 20 pixels!
I even try to use CSS for this , but that doesnt work as well!
how can I set a table's height to less than 20 pixels ?

Thanx

There's no "minimum height" for a table. If you have text (including a space or   ) in the table, the table will be at least as large as the text. In CSS you can get around this by using overflow: hidden.

so what I understand from your answer is we cant make
a fix height table which doesnt include any text inside of it! ... strange!
well this is the minimum size that Ihave found for a table:

Code: Select all

 <td width="100%"><span style="font-size: 1">&nbsp;</span></td>


well the story is I have table , and I have one picture which has 10 pixelx height! so whenever I put this piccy inside of the table , there is an empty space remain in bottom of the table which is about 10 pixels!
I just wanted to fit the table to my picture ,!

but I think I got the idea from your answer so I can sort it out.
cheers mate

No, I said that you can't do so if it does include any text inside of it, and   counts as text.

Some versions of IE handle whitespace badly. If you have a 10px image in a table cell and you want to make sure the cell is exactly 10px, you have to make sure there's no whitespace (which includes spaces, tabs, and newlines) between the <img> tag and the HTML before or after it.
