User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Firefox does not process tables correctly when <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-
//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/strict.dtd"> included 
in the document, also tried with Transitional DOCTYPE. The tables has a lot of 
extra space like 3 lines instead of 1 line inside a cell.
see http://www.pcug.org.au/~chowell/ which works in MSIE and not in Firefox 1.0
When I remove the DOCTYPE statement from the page it all works but then it 
breaks my Validated HTML.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse http://www.pcug.org.au/~chowell/ with Firefox 1.0
2. look at the table at the bottom of the page.
3. View the sourcecode as required.

Actual Results:  
If I removed the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 
4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/strict.dtd"> Firefox appears to display 
the page correctly.

Expected Results:  
rendered the page correcly when I specify a DOCTYPE.
Why are there gaps between image rows in tables when the layout engine is in the
Standards mode?

Why are there still gaps even between text rows in tables when the layout engine
is in the Standards mode or in the Almost Standards mode?

Fixed problem by changing CSS for TD and removing <P> around text. Thanks for
the time Gérard, sorry to waste it.
