    <p>Something i'd never noticed before, but it seems that in Chrome/Firefox (and probably Opera/Safari, i've not checked those specifically) using a strict doctype prevents table rows from being displayed smaller than a value that i'm unable to determine the calculation of.</p> <p>The following document displays as one might imagine in IE7 with all table rows around 8px in height to match the height of the content (which is probably incorrect knowing IE), whilst in Chome/Firefox the rows are all 23px tall. No combination of border-collapse, padding, margin etc i've found will allow the rows to be smaller than this.</p> <pre><code> &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD Xhtml 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;style&gt; span { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8px; line-height: 8px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="1" border="1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;One&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Three&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Four&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Five&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Six&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Seven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Eight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Setting the doctype to transitional causes the table rows to display around 8px in height as expected.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea what's causing this apparent minimum row height?</p> <p>Cheers for any info.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
