I'm trying to use a div tag to make an element of height 16 pixels but
IE forces it to be 19 pixels. Anything smaller than 19 gets enlarged
to 19. Is there any way around this?

#row1
{
background: #0000FF;
width: 766px;
height: 16px;
}

That's pretty much all I'm trying to do, but IE makes it 19 pixels in
height.

IE extends heights to encompass the contents.
If you set the font-size and line-height to less than 16px (even if
the div is empty), the div will probably stick to the assigned 16px
height.

That works, thank you!
