Is there some of way of formatting these tables so that if we choose to leave a box empty, we don't get these ugly spaces? The borders of the boxes should be visible even if there is nothing in them. Adam 00:36, 5 May 2004 (UTC)


 * I think that's a matter between you and your browser. In Opera (see a screenshot of mine here) the empty cells do have borders -- but, as I've just seen by opening the same page in ie6, that apparently doesn't apply to all browsers (and, yes, it does look tatty). I think you need a table guru -- maybe there's a switch to include in the table syntax that forces the cells to fill out? –Hajor 00:55, 5 May 2004 (UTC)


 * I hacked it: put a &amp;nbsp; into the "empty" cells and crappy IE doesn't fold the cell boundaries. -- 81.152.87.230 01:21, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Adam 01:38, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

 * The correct solution is to use wikimarkup tables, not html tables. I'm not saying that will be bug free either, but at least there is someone (bar Bill Gates) to whom you can complain. -- 81.152.87.230 01:46, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
