Create a cell of height 1px

[Rithish Saralaya]

I want a row/cell of 1px height. This is what I have tried to achieve
that.
<TR><TD><IMG HEIGHT=1
SRC='http://myserver.com/blank-small.gif'></TD></TR>

However, the row does take more than 1px. I have tried resizing the
image even smaller, but in vain. Where am I going wrong?
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Rithish.

You are abusing markup to do layouts, use css, Google to get up to speed
with it.

My my my. That certainly doesn't look like tabular data to me...

Stop wanting that.

Post a URL, not an incorrect snippet of code.

There are 42 possible reasons to that. The most probable is perhaps that
you have a positive value for cellspacing (perhaps by browser defaults).

You are not telling what you are really aiming at, you are not posting
the URL, you are using tables for layout pointlessly, and you are using
invalid markup.

Egads !!! I must have stirred a hornet's nest !! :o) I did not want
to burden all with the whole complexity of whatever problem I am
facing. But now, since all seem to be interested, here goes... I want
to create a custom toolbar with vertical drop-down menus ( Please
don't question as to why I am reinventing the wheel again.. I am
not... A drop-down menu is one among many of the functions required of
the toolbar ) I want to mark a seperator between individual items of
the menu ( The menu is a table with items as rows of it, each row
containing a single cell ). The seperator row/cell will have no text
in it, but a bottom border, thus emulating a seperator line. I thought
setting <TD>&nbsp;</TD> with the 'Font-Size' style to 1px would be
incorrect. Hence, the reason I opted to use an image ( albeit a very
small one, of height 1px ). How am I wrong in wanting a row/cell of
1px height? Please... I would be glad to be enlightened...

If I were able to post a URL, I would have ( I am working in a
restricted environment ). How incorrect is the snippet?

I agree. I found the reason soon as I posted my query. Actually, it
was reason no 41. :o) I had a positive value for cellpadding.

Think I have satisfied all troubled minds... I am yet a novice at
this. I apologize for being so naive...

Oh, but we love to do just that.

Stop wanting that, too.

I'm not. I'm simply stating the fact that you are doing the wrong thing,
and probably the wrong way too.

Which part of the term "www" do you fail to understand?

Very incorrect, starting from being invalid, accessibility-hostile, and
pointless.

Not really. And your basic problems remain, but after all, it's you and
your users that need to live with them, not most of us.

Not really. A naive man would have told directly what he is doing and
how.

Re: Create a cell of height 1px

this is what I do when I need very thin rows (or very narrow cells):

in css I define:

..spacer {font-size:1px}

then in table:

<tr><td class="spacer" height=1>&nbsp; </td></tr>

or

<tr><td class="spacer" width=1>&nbsp;</td></tr>


hope this helps... Frances

Re: Create a cell of height 1px

Well, because you are not using the XHTML standard, so it doesn't work!
Sorry, It's a joke!
