Header and footer expand greatly when datatable is large

Teresia

As the data grows so does the header.

I finally isolated it down to this css file:

/tst/tools/global/websrc/DataTables-1.8.2/examples/examples_support/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.css

I found this to be the culprit:
/* required comment for clearfix to work in Opera \*/
* html .ui-helper-clearfix { height:1%; }

I changed the height to 0% and the problem is resolved.
* html .ui-helper-clearfix { height:0%; }
