Table border doesn't exsist around empty segments

[newphpbie]

I have a table, and it has a table border of 5.

My only problem is if one of the sections of the table doesn't contain any data, it doesn't draw the border around that segment. This makes my table look really poor.

Could someone tell me how to fix this?

Do I just need to declair another table constraint?

;-!

I just want a table border around the cells that don't contain anything.

Forget gif's.

I'm sure it's just something like

<table border=5 rules=basic>

but it's not that....

I need to implement this rule .....


TABLE { empty-cells: show }



but I don't know how.... could someone give me an example please...

If I'm reading this thread correctly, then what you are trying to do isn't possible in that kind of way.

The best way to do it is to put a Non-breaking Space Character in there (&nbsp - this means there's 'nothing' in there, but you'll be able to see the borders.

You've lost me cwcrawley

any chance of an example..??

ok, I've sloved this problem by adding

 

to each of the table cells. This tells it to print a border even if their is nothing in it. Magic.

You hardly need to add that much just a   should do. The gif as proposed would work also.
