Don't you have to have things between the <TD>SOMETHING</TD> otherwise it won't show up? That's what I always thought.

Uh, what do you expect to show up when all your cells are empty? IE doesn't render empty table cells.

i realize that. but it's showing a blank, as in white page. it is not showing ANYTHING.


and any browser will render a cell so long as it has a
in it. it just has to have something tangible.

you have to put something _visible_ between the cells otherwise it won't show up.  a space is enough ( & nbsp; no space bteween & and n)

I see a table when I copy and paste that code into notepad. So there is something, just add something in the cells.

There is NOTHING in your table. The ONLY content you have defined for the page is the title. What do you expect it to render?
