Table collapses on Safari

[Paul W]

Hi - I generate a table using code similar to the following (simplified),
and this works fine for most browsers/platforms. For Safari on Mac, the
table displays 'vertically collapsed' for rows where there is no 'content'
in the cells. If I put a token " " in each otherwise empty cell, the
table displays fine.

What's going on here? Shouldn't asp.net detect the browser type and figure
out this stuff itself? If so, is this a 'browsercaps' issue? Any
info/suggestions appreciated.

Paul.
-----------------
For n = 1 To gblNumRows
Dim tRow As New TableRow
tRow.Style("height") = "16"

With tRow.Cells
For C = 1 To gblNumCols
Dim tCell1 As New TableCell
.Add(tCell1)
Next
End With
TT.Rows.AddAt(n - 1, tRow)
Next

<tr><td></td></tr> is not valid HTML, <tr><td> </td></tr> is. IE will render
both similar, but you cannot guaruntee that all browsers will.

Hope that helps.

Interesting, but doesn't really address my question. Should asp.net render
the cells as <td> </td> if it detects a non-IE browser? I've installed a new
BrowserCaps section from slingfive but it still renders as <td><td> for
safari and Netscape. Any further pointers appreciated.

Datagrid for instance will put there. But the way you are doing it you have
to manually write that in.
