table td height

[Yang]

how to change the table td height and make it smaller than the default?

right now it works to make it bigger but not smaller:

<table><tr><td height=5>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>

I just want to make it look like a skip line with a different color.

Thanx

My crystal ball says you're abusing tables. Tables should be used for
tabular data, not for positioning of elements.

Use CSS for presenation. If you need a tutorial,
<http://www.w3schools.com/css/> is a good place to start.

By having content that is not too high in it.

<table><tr><td height=5>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>

What exactly you are after? If your thing is not tabular data, it is much
easier to use something else than table. If it is tabular data, it
depends a lot on what exactly are you trying to do. If you can use
collapsing border model and tbody aka. table-row-group, then it is not
too hard.
