11243 - extra space under linked image in table cell, even if valign=bottom

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5821

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Hervé Renault]

on Linux and Mac, m8 and 1999-08-03 nightly build,
when an image is surrounded by a <A HREF>, an extra space is added under the
image even though the table cell is <TD VALIGN=BOTTOM>. When the <A HREF> is
removed, the image sticks well to the bottom of the cell.

seen on top of www.abcnews.com homepage with the "Go" logo. the logo is split
accross 2 rows of a table with no cellspacing or padding, and the extra space
appears in the middle...

see small html example at the URL
<http://62.160.249.25/~rv/moz/test_valign.html> (it's my pc)

hope it helps.

Marking this a duplicate of 5821, since among other things bug 7118 (another
dupe of 5821) also talks about the GO logo on the ABCNews page.
