Overriding Cellpadding

[sabret00the]

<table style="background: #3B5078;" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" >
 </if>
 <tbody>
 <tr height="2">
 <td height="2" bgcolor="#4F6BA0" style="height: 2px;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"></td>
 </tr>

that row that i've set to display at 2pixels refuses to render 2px high on FB due to the tables cellpadding

can i just add cellpadding=0 on that cell?
