max height for tr? Oliver Block 05-15-2006

Hi,

I wonder - after studying HTML4 and CSS2.1 recs - if it is possible to force
maximum row height. CSS2.1 sais that tr-height is minimum height for td.

In other words: Are there ways to force a table to show equaly high rows?

Best Regards,

Oliver

The question suggests that you are doing inappropriate things with
tables. Please explain why tabular data would need to be rendered in
equally high table rows.

Wrong answer.

"Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content"

Tables are definely a means to layout document content. Tabular data is
document content. What is meant in the TR is that it should not be used as
a substitute for Frames or divs that could be prositioned absolute in the
same way as frames.
