Valid code for height of tr tag 1

[tshad]

I am trying to use the valid way of increasing the height of a row in a table (not all rows just one particular row).

I can get it to work with:

<tr height="30px">

But that is apparently not valid. The suggested way is:

<tr style="height:30px">

But that doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried putting it in the td tag with the same non results.

So how are you supposed to do it when the invalid way works and the valid way doesn't?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi

The first one is invalid, as the [tt]tr[/tt] tag has no [tt]height[/tt] attribute and even if it would have, the value should be specified as 30 ( without unit ).

The second one is valid and works for me in Gecko, Presto and WebKit.

Please give us more details about the context in which it not works.

Use a Document Type Declaration (DTD) that it is valid in!

Actually, the style did work.

The problem seems to have been some sort of caching.

As I was making the changes and I ran the page again (right away), nothing changed. If I waited a few minutes (while I got someone else to look at it), it then worked.

I need to refresh the page, I guess, to see the changes.

Thanks,

use Ctrl+F5 to force a refresh from the server.

Just a refresh won't do it?

Thanks,

Not necessarily, a browser refresh or pressing F5 is a 'soft' reload and only checks the browser cache for 'expired' files.

Ctrl+F5 is a 'hard' refresh or reload where the cache for that URI is bypassed and ALL files are requested from the URI.
