Table colours

I have a website that runs to some 1800 pages, most of it tables
containing data. I read in a book that some browsers do not display
empty cells. OK, I could only found one on my computer that didn't and
the offender was only Netscape 6, but the fix looked so simple that I
thought I would include it.

empty-cells: show

Now how do I get the empty cells to show the tables background colour
instead of the body background colour beneath?

Brian.

Well, that's one way of putting it. There are several oddities really.

Won't help on IE.

More or less, you don't, so don't use empty cells. Put some dummy content
there, or some real content.
