[maxpower1]

How do you make a table's rows and columns lines appear even if the table is empty?

thanks

If you add a non-breaking space (&nbsp to empty cells, this should make the borders visible:

Example:
<table border=&quot;1&quot;>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Also, see

My bad, the example should be:

<table border=&quot;1&quot;>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks ConeHead for the correction

OK...lol, I'm a bonehead.

<td>& N B S P ;</td>

with no spaces.

thread215-687991 thread showed how you write &nbsp; so that it shows up.
