No table border for blank cell

[Doug]

When I fill an html table using ASP with data from a database, there is no
border around any cell that has no data. I know I can manually put in a
blank character or nbsp, but how do I do this when I am using asp? Has
anyone else had this problem and came across an easy fix?

Thanks,

Doug

<% ' VBS
function neverEmpty(x)
y = mData(x)
if y = "" then y = "&nbsp;"
neverEmpty = y
end function
%>

......
<td><% = neverEmpty("fieldName") %></td>
<td><% = neverEmpty("fieldDate") %></td>

not tested

Interesting I am using css, so this may be my best approach.

Thanks much.
