border element on table

[BDNFLNC]

OK, so I have a two column page. Done with a table because I need the bgcolor of the left column to be consistent the whole height.

I have put an ID on the <td> tags to give the left column a border-right. It works great, but only for the part of the table that is filled. Where there is no content to that table cell the border stops displaying.

A work in progress is found at

The left column should have a right and top border and the right column should have a left and top border.

I am working on this all the time so the code may change slightly.

If anyone knows any tricks for doing this, please share.

Thanks.

I think the most common trick for dealing with formatting problems that arise with empty table cells is to put a &nbsp; in them.

See if that helps.

I don't know if it would make a difference or not (I can't imagine why it would)... But try swapping the order of your border paramters around. So go from this:

border-left: 1px solid #333333

to this:

border-left: 1px #333333 solid;

As I said - probably won't make a difference, but worth a go anyway ;o)
