IE6 Empty Cells

I know this is not really an asp.net issue.But I know this is the home of
the experts so I thought I would ask anyway.

I am trying to reduce traffic and would prefer to have empty cells empty.
Unfortunately IE6 does not support the empty-cells css style. So Im looking
for some way to allow me to display nothing without having to resort to
  which takes 6 characters.

I could put a period of the same colour as the background, but does anyone
know of an alternative ?

Cheers

  is the way to do it.

I really wouldn't worry about any extra bandwidth due to 6 chars. repeated
many times. Even if it was included in your table 1,000 times it would only
be 6k (using UTF-8) and 6k will not bottleneck your page.

http://www.acad.sunytccc.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat04/qz05_.htm A table comes near the beginning of the page. I have the <td> of row 1 column 1 styled in line with border-top:none and border-left:none. Yet the top and left borders are still present. I've read the Tables section of the CSS2 spec several times, but obviously there's something I'm not getting. Can someone help? --

I'm moving some code from Excel vbs into a .NET context and I'm very new to .NET. I'm trying to make this Excel vb code work in .NET. My questions are: how do I reference cells correctly using the common "cells(x,y)" reference, where x and y are integer variables. Also, how do I verify that the cells are empty, since, according to the documentation, the "IsEmpty" function does not work in .NET now? Thanks for any help! ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
