skeener Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The table border did not appear when there is no data queried from the database. It happens only in I.Explorer and not in firefox. how to overcome this problem in I.E ? thus the table looks odd when there are some rows and columns which have no border lines. helps is much appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37415-the-table-border-not-appear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvle Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 if there is no data returned, instead of print nothing, fill it with a non-breaking space: Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37415-the-table-border-not-appear/#findComment-178846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvle Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 take this line for example: <td align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$Staff_no1</td> if (empty($Staff_no1)) $Staff_no1 = ' '; of course, do this before it being output to table. and do this for every instance that possibly be empty.
