Cell height in Dreamwever MX

Dreamwever help

[archibald1212]

I am new at Dreamweaver and seem to be stuck. I am trying to make a row in a specific color with small height (like 10 pixels). I entere it in the H cell in the Table format window but it always goes to the defualt height no matter what I do. If I insert a samll height picture, the cell can b resized to fit the picture. However, if i delete the picture, it goes back to the defulat cell height. Is there sonething I cna do? Thanks.

I usually make a 1 pixel x your height spacer the same colour as your background and stick that in there.

DW places a default   in every table cell. Delete this (in the html) and you will be able to control the cell height.

I noticed the same thing - although only on the latest couple of versions of Dreamweaver.

I now tend to do a mixture of the above i.e. use a spacer AND delete the default   entered by DW.

I tend to find in some instances that if you change the HTML within dreamweaver, and save the document, Dreamweaver for some reason puts the changes back to the way it feels it should be. e.g. if you take out the   and save the document, then reopen it, the   will be back.

I'm not saying it happens all the time, and it could just be a setting i have wrong in my properties, but it does happen when changing other parts of code. I now find myself having to use notepad now and again to make certain changes.

Anyway, to some up - I would delete the   AND use a spacer. You should find this fixes the problem.

Thank you all for the help. These kinds of questions one never finds answers for in any how-to guide.

Thanks again.
