Giving height to table and row in Bootstrap

Question

I am using Bootstrap 3 , i am trying to give height to table and row, but nothing is working for me .

I tried setting line-height

Answer 1

What worked for me was adding a div around the content. Originally i had this. Css applied to the td had no effect.

                   
             @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Message)           
        

Then I wrapped the content in a div and the css worked as expected

       
            

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Message)
