css alternative to nbsp?
Hi all, does anyone know any alternatives to using to avoid the 'dissapearing border' problem when TD cells have no value. To clarify, i have an html table where data is populated from a database. When the value if 'blank' the border dissapears....the only way i know of getting round this is to use the in place of the value. It would be nicer though if there was a css property that i could apply to the cell to prevent the border from dissapearing.
thanks in advance.

Hi brunobear, didn't seem to do the trick for me? if the cell has no contents the border remains invisible...i'm using a fairly recent version of IE but maybe i'm missing something...
IE does not support that particular CSS attribute (yet)

you can specify whichever behavior you want, you need to use the seperated border model:
