After a couple of days spent struggling with HTML tables, my forehead has a grid of indents which incidentally are a mirror copy of my keyboard.
Speaking of grids, I'd like to know if there's any set of rules regarding <td> size.
Is it all according to the content? Is it affected by other cells in the same row? By the row itself? By the table? Plain ol' CSS?
NOTE: I'm specifically not looking for an answer to a specific question.
I just want to know how the darned height is calculated so I can figure out myself each time what to expect.
Yes table cells follows the content and it's siblings height.
You can say that it's a rectangle split in section, that no matter what it's inside it will always stay as a rectangle.
So even if you add a css height it will ignore it if the text is bigger than the css height.
So pretty much you can expect a dynamic height in most case scenarios.
But still...it should be used to show only tabular data and nothing else. For the rest there is display:table-cell;...
