RE: Simple (?) HTML problem -- WEB400

The cellpadding will have a little effect. I've seen before that <pre>
doesn't mix real well with tables.

Subject: Simple (?) HTML problem

I am working on a simple "print" CGI program and cannot get the HTML to
co-operate.  Can anybody tell me what I'm missing.

The code below shows basically what I'm trying to do.  It is a simple table
to contain pre-formed print lines.  The tags that are causing the problem
are the <PRE> ones.  They work just fine in terms of maintaining the
spacing within a line, but they cause the row height to be doubled for no
reason I can see.  It seems to me that I should be able to use <CODE>
instead.  True enough this resolves the height issue, but also causes the
line spacing to get scewed up because multiple spaces are compressed.  This
seems very strange behaviour for a tag designed to allow you to show code
samples but .....

 <HTML><BODY>
 <TABLE border="1" rules="groups" width="800" cellpadding=5>
   <THEAD BGCOLOR="#94D6E7">
     <TR><TD><pre>Heading</pre></TD></TR>
   </THEAD>
   <TBODY>
     <TR><TD><pre>         1         2</pre></TD></TR>
     <TR bgcolor="#C6EFF7"><TD><pre>12345678901234567890</pre></TD></TR>
     <TR><TD><pre>JK LMN O P QR </pre></TD></TR>
     <TR bgcolor="#C6EFF7"><TD><pre>More test data</pre></TD></TR>
   </TBODY>
 </TABLE>
 </BODY></HTML>

Any inspirations ?
