Re: &nbsp for td

Shelley,

I use the nbsp attribute whenever I do not need to control the size of the
empty cell in the table. Where I need the cell to be a specific size, I use
an appropriately sized blank.gif file. So far, I've never had a problem with
it. As far as I know, when using the nbsp to fill in a cell, the content of
surroounding cells will dictate its size.
