RE: &nbsp for td

Mornin' Shelley--

When I use the   in Netscape (v4.6) on a Mac without wrapping it
in <.P> tags, it is ignored, and depending on how the rest of the
table is structured (numerical data versus images) this may look okay
or very odd. Also, using any image in a table in Netscape requires
that I define cell height and width to get consistent rendering. Of
course, it is a good idea to do this anyway with any image. Keep in
mind that Netscape (at least) sees the dimensions as "do not go
smaller than these dimensions" but will often make cells larger if the
browser thinks it needs to (i.e., something else in the row forces the
height taller, etc.).

I have not experienced these limitations in IE on the Mac or the PC,
v4.+.

Good luck!

Subject: &nbsp for td


Dear Folks

	I used the nbsp for a couple of empty td cells instead of my
usual blank.gif yesterday (long story, too embarassing to tell
:) ) so.....I was wondering if there are any "issues" with regard
to using one over the other (notice how I have an aversion to
finding out the hard way - must be because of all the other
wonderful mistakes I make :) ).  It's working just fine for the
site I'm presently on but I'm curious as to any difficulties that
it might present in other situations.  Comments, anyone?

TIA
