When you create a html table and apply a border using CSS, then the
empty cells do not have a border. So you pull out your CSS book and
find
empty-cells:show; and think your problems are solved but
empty-cells is unsupported in IE…go figure. But I have found a combination of styles that work. Try this…apply the
border-collapse:collapse; and
empty-cells:show; to the table level and IE will display borders around empty cells.
