Article Border on Empty Cells
empty-cells
If you have empty cells in
your table, then you can use
the empty-cells property to
specify whether or not their
borders should be shown.
Since browsers treat empty cells
in different ways, if you want to
explicitly show or hide borders
on any empty cells then you
should use this property.
It can take one of three values:
chapter-14/empty-cells.html
1
2
3
HTML
show
This shows the borders of any
empty cells.
hide
This hides the borders of any
empty cells.
inherit
If you have one table nested
inside another, the inherit
value instructs the table cells to
obey the rules of the containing
table.
In the first table on the left, you
can see that the border of the
empty cell is showing. In the
second table, it is hidden.
td {
border: 1px solid #0088dd;
padding: 15px;}
table.one {
empty-cells: show;}
table.two {
empty-cells: hide;}
