Table row height not Wysiwyg

[delorfra]

My page draws a bar chart. When the x-axis is displayed in Explorer, the height is as expected. However, in display mode(Explorer 5.5) or when printed, the height of the row containing the axis (a gif image) is much larger creating a blank zone between the zone with bars and the x-axis.
Here is my code :
<TD ALIGN='top' COLSPAN=12 HEIGHT=1><IMG SRC='/images/orange.gif' HEIGHT=1 WIDTH=720>

Is it a bug or anything else ?

Thanks.

Delorfra: height is the minimum height. Cellpadding>0 consumes
space. 3D-lines consume space. I don´t know whether border=0
consumes space.
It´s recommended to use minimum height of 10 for a cell
(if cellpadding=0) or larger. Text in a small
cell increases the height also, even &nbsp.
Rough estimate for 1024x768, 17&quot; monitor: 3 pixels=1mm .

The problem came from forgetting to close the tag </TD>
which had an unexpected behaviour on Internet Explorer just in printing mode.

In fact, all my tags are left unclosed in this page. I thought that it would do no harm whatsoever. I was wrong.
