Dreamweaver MX 2004 tables/cells

Is there a way to change minimum height of cells?

[tammymarie79]

Is is possible to create a cell with a height of 10 pixels in Dreamweaver? I'm having problems, because the program defaults to 18 pixels when I try to type in a height of 10 pixels or if I draw a cell using the layout tools.

I'm new to Dreamweaver, and I just wondered if there's a preference that I can change or if just won't work to make a cell or table that is only 10 pixels high.

Hi tammymarie79

Welcome to WebmasterWorld :)

You can choose the cell height in the properties pannel. If the height is defaulting to 18 it could be becase another cell in the row is set to that height or you have cell content taller than 18px.

A little advice ;) : you may be better off ignoring the layout mode and using the split code/design view so you can see how DW is changing the HTML. As you become familiar with this making edits to the tables/HTML becomes easier.

When a cell has no content, DW automatically inserts a non-breaking space and makes the minimum height 18. To make the cell smaller, you'll need to create a spacer image 10 px tall or less. Then import it into your desired cell and set the height.

DW describes this at: [macromedia.com...]
