That code seems to be setting table rows to display:block instead of
display:table-row....

Is that correct?

well it 's not correct i suppose, but it's working in IE5/6 ;)
but u r right that would be the correct way i'll change it
but anyway is it meant that if u assign a wrong type there is whitespace when u
remove it again?

btw IE doesn't know table-row ... so i have to add browser-checking here too?!?!?

Well.. you create a block inside a table.  This is not allowed, so some weird
anonymous box creation has to happen (create an anonymous table row, table cell,
put the block in that table cell).  Then you hide the block, but the row/cell
are still there.

If you are using actual <tr> elements, setting display to "" will work in both
IE and Mozilla.

In IE, table rows _are_ blocks, because it does not support display:table-row at
all.  That's why this works there... (and IE has other issues associated with this).
