Errrr actually, no its not. This is only table code, there's no HR
code.

Technically, your above example works because of HTML/Browser
strangeness. There is nothing actually IN your <TD> table cell, so it
should not be seen (background colour and all). However it's being
displayed, I think, because of the </TR> which immediately follows it,
which is ... interesting. It's also browser dependant, really.
The reason the height of the cell "doubles" when you put the in
there is that it's larger vertically to accomodate your standard
font, which in this case only amounts to a single space.
Incidentally, HEIGHT=x% in any browser is pretty flaky, really -
Netscape and MSIE support it differently, V I don't recall supporting
it, and I'm not sure about IBrowse. Neil - what does AWeb do with it?

Non-breaking space. It basically *forces* the browser to put a blank
space in where it resides in the code. It's normally considered bad
practice to use them to space stuff out, but Shh ... don't tell
anyone. (It's quite legit, IMO, to put it in a table cell to make the
background colour come up though).
