xhtml validation of the table tag's "height" element

[NSGN.net]

I'm having a little problem. I create an xhtml compliant document in
dreamweaver, yet when i validate it using the xhtml 1.0 transitional validator,
it spots this issue in all tables i create.

The tag: "table" doesn't have an attribute: "height" in currently active
versions.

Yes, this makes sense. xhtml doesnt want to see

<table height="22">

Rather it likes something more like

<table style="height: 22px;">

But for the life of me I can't seem to find out how to make dreamweaver code
my tables like this. I would love to have dreamweaver be able to code a page
that passes it's own validator!

Thanks,
Brandon

Just code by hand. DW's design view is a complete waste of time once you
know what you're doing, especially, as you point out, if you want XHTML
complaint code.

Or not. Create a style that cascades into that table....

Not necessarily. I have found design view to be benefitial more than once, and
I've been writing (well-formed) code for years. Though I'm in code view more
often, I occasionally use design view when I need to get some idea if how/where
my styles are being applied without opening the browser, and also if I get lost
in code I can quickly hit the design view button, highlight the text (or
wysiwyg element) I was editing and then jump right back to code view, with that
text or element selected in code.
