Table Heights in NN7 & Opera 7

[Fruit & Veg]

I thought I'd be a good little boy and make sure a new site is 'perfect' in all three main browsers, the trouble is I can't afford to lose much more hair.

I'm specifying a table height, thus -

<tr><td width="100%" height="1"></td></tr>

It's just a little table inbetween two main ones.
It aligns in Explorer. It doesn't in Opera or Netscape.

The absolute bizarre thing is that if I change the height to 10 or 100 it aligns in Opera and Netscape, but if you input a number below 10 it doesn't work!
I thought, hang on, maybe it only works with 'whole' numbers (divisible by 10 for some strange reason) but I tried 76 and that works too.

Opera and Netscape seem to default at 10 and refuse to go any lower.

Is this really the case?
What's a way out of it?

Why do you need a 1-pixel table cell anyway? If you want some extra padding or a border effect you can use CSS and save yourself some frustration.

While I agree with vgarcia I think this can fix your problem:

<td width="100%" style="height:1px font-size:0;">

I don't want padding or a border on the left or right hand sides of the cell.

The above didn't work in NN7 or OP7, nor does;

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

Thanks anyway but I'm really not that concerned to keep on trying.

Cheers.

a. don't use tables for layout!
ok sermon over
b. you need to put something in the table cell... but something small, like a 1px spacer gif, this is because nn7 and op7 follow the rules. The use of a space will not work since that space will still be the height of your font, either decalred or default. Thus use a 1px high transparent gif.
c. don't use tables for layout
