If you look carefully you will notice that these tables display differently in Netscape and MSIE.
| alignment: default border: 1 |
cell padding: 4 cell spacing: 0 |
| width: 90% background color: default |
border color: navy blue light border: aqua dark border: blue |
The tables display well in Netscape when you put borders around the cells.
| exhibit one.1 and one.2 are exactly the same... | right-side color: aqua |
| this is table 1A | |
| this is table 2a | bottom two rows have no text | right-side color: red |
But you'll see here that cells with no other elements won't show their background color in Netscape, nor will consume monitor space like it does in MSIE. Look at the same two tables with borders turned off...
the same table with borders turned off... |
in Netscape you won't see the bottom two rows...just a white space (the page background color) |
| in Netscape you don't see the aqua color... or the red of the bottom two cells... | |
this is what the table looks like |
if you're in MSIE you can see the bottom two rows...in Netscape, well, you're screwed! | borders turned on |
| with a third row inserted in the middle | ||
| imagine a blue period here |
COMPARE THIS |
if you're in MSIE you can see the bottom two rows... in Netscape, well, you're screwed! | borders turned off |
| with a third row inserted in the middle | ||
| imagine a blue period here |
same as previous table |
if you're in MSIE you can see the bottom two rows... in Netscape, well, you're screwed! | borders turned on |
| border color: white | cell padding: 0 | the blue period is here now! | |
