What causes this HTTP table to change spacing?
On this page http://www.acbtexas.org/2012conference/2012%20conf... scrolling down one screen there is a table with links to presenter biographical data. The 4 entries are basically identical and in FrontPage they show equal spacing. But in Firefox and Internet Explorer, the first two names are close together (single spaced) the third is about double spaced and the fourth about triple spaced.

In the latter, the names inside the td-elements are wrapped in a p-element, increasing the the 'spacing'.

I'm not sure, but you shouldn't be using tables for what is nothing more than a list of links. To get the same functionality, use line breaks and paragraphs
