I've having an issue with a specific table cell that I can't seem to figure out.I set the cell with the id=top to a height of 174px with CSS, and yet it appears to be a height of 236px.Here is an image of what I'm talking about:post-85917-0-86178300-1324330796_thumb.png For a closer look at the code -

It might be the <p> tags that are inside that table cell adding margin.A table cell will always stretch to accomodate the content inside it, ignoring any style rules if they conflict with it. So make sure that your content is not taller than the desired height of your table cell.
