Actually, that did make a difference... I just neededd to set the cache to 0 for the module first.
But really what I wanted to achieve was to align the height of the links module to the height of the Text/HTML module, so that for most page views, they would look even in height. For those interested, how I achieved this in a round-about way is like so:
First, set the height of the links module to whatever desired height by editing:
<asp:panel id="pnlList" runat="server" Height="340">
Second, edit the skin container you are using like so:
<TABLE class="containermaster_blue" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="5" align="center" border="0" style
Adjust the heights until they match. I am sure there are many better ways to do this, but for now, this is waht I did. It works as ling as the text in the HTML module does not require more height.
="height:415;">
