Datalist Height

I having a datalist which contains very small item, I did not set the height of the datalist but the problem is there is like a minimum height for datalist bacause even i jut put a dot (.) in the itemTemplate the height still the same.

below is my codes in aspx:

<asp:DataList ID="dl" runat="server" CellPadding="1" CellSpacing="0" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"

ItemStyle-BorderStyle="Solid" ItemStyle-BorderWidth="1" ItemStyle-VerticalAlign="bottom">

<ItemTemplate>

.

.

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:DataList>

 

I purposely put border so the you guys can see the actual output, below is the output:

 

 

What can i do so that i will get the datalist with no unnecessary space in between?

Ajax enabled?

Yes.

I do not believe the height of the cell is based on what's displayed but rather the point size of the font. Look at these text and observe how much taller normal alphanumeric characters are compared to the full-stop dot.

You are right, i solved the problem by set the font size to smaller size.

Thanks.
