Empty Cells
Both table heading cells and data cells can contain any text, HTML code, or both, includ-
ing links, lists, forms, images, and other tables. But what if you want a cell with nothing
in it? That’s easy. Just define a cell with a <th> or <td> element with nothing inside it:Input ▼
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td> 10 </td>
<td> 20 </td>
</tr>
</table>Some older browsers display empty cells of this sort as if they don’t exist at all, leaving
off the borders. If you want to force a truly empty cell, you can add a line break with no
other text in that cell by itself:Input ▼
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><br></td>FIGURE 10.2

table that includes
