no working table formatting
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 7:08 pm
Hi @ all,
i need some help with the table layout for cmsms.
i have a simple table pasted in html as content of a page, but the cells of this table don't adapt to the font height, for example:
i made the font of the 2nd cell in the first row smaller, just for testing, but the cell height still stays the same, like here:

I searched for settings in the stylesheet, but i found nothing that seems to control the cell height:
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance, Jotaro

Code: Select all
<table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="left">
