PHWinfo - Afficher un message - IE8 Table TD tag and font-size

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this question or not.
Please let me know.

I've searched high and low for some info about this, but I can't find
anything.

Testing in IE8, I've come across a problem where HTML such as the
following does not work as expected:

<html>
<body>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td background="1x1.gif"><img src="1x1.gif" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

1x1.gif is, as the filename suggests, a 1 pixel gif image. I'd expect
that the TR row would be 1 pixel in height, for the width of the
browser window, but it is not. The only way I can make this row 1
pixel in height is to specify a font-size of 1px or smaller in a style
attribute of the TD element (or remove the img tag within the TD).

Both firefox (latest) and IE7 work as I'd expect them to. Do you
think this is a defect in IE8 or just a part of IE8's new standards
compliance? If I switch to a mode other than Standard through the IE8
developer tool (quirks mode, for example), things are fine.
