How to Make a Row Smaller in Dreamweaver
Tables let you control the layout of Web page elements or data with a grid of vertical columns and horizontal rows. The default row height accommodates the height of a single line of text, but for design purposes, you might want this height smaller. However, Dreamweaver adds a non-breaking space in each cell, which prevents the row height from displaying smaller even if you manually specify a smaller size. To shrink the row, you have to remove these spaces within the HTML code. The row width is dependent on the width of the table, which is easily changed in the table properties.
