Annoying thing when using <embed> tag

[goplanit]

I'm using the embed tag so I can have a cell 5 pixels high that actually shows correctly in that pain in the arse browser Netscape. When I make changes to the table on the page i.e. add more cells, merge cells or whatever all the embed tags on the page change from this :-

<td height=&quot;5&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#996600&quot;><EMBED HEIGHT=&quot;1&quot; WIDTH=&quot;1&quot; ALT=&quot;.&quot;></embed></td> (thats everything on the same line)

To this :-

<td height=&quot;5&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#996600&quot;><EMBED HEIGHT=&quot;1&quot; WIDTH=&quot;1&quot; ALT=&quot;.&quot;>
</embed></td> (</embed></td> this bit on a new line)

This then make the embed tag not work, and I have to change them back again. Any one know how to stop this happening? It's basically just very annoying!!
