Hello

I have labels which display their content in a tab;le. Where there is no content in the cell the cell borders (some of them) do not appear. I have read in the documentation that there is a way of inserting a non-compressible space in "empty" cells to force the borders to show. I thought I needed to set a variable in the label properties. I cannot find out what that would be. I have tried to find the answer in the docs but I must be using the wrong keyword for my search. Some help would be appreciated.

Andrew,
A way to accomplish this is:
Go into design, open up the record/grid
In HTML mode locate the <td>{label}</td>
after the {label} add & n b s p ;
type it without the spaces in between
  
<td>{label}& n b s p ;</td>  
It will add a space without taking up space

BTW, it is an option on the GridBuilder
on step 5, checkbox Non Breaking Space in Empty Cells.

Thank you Walter - as ever - you are a wonderful source of information. I had hoped to avoid fiddling with the HTML (though I do all the time).

Thanks for pointing out the option on the gridbuilder. That's what I must have been thinking about.

I have the same problem, although there is whitespace and content in my tables. I checked to make sure show borders was checked and it was.

The table edges were visible until two days ago. I'm using CCS 4.2.

post a link to your page.
its not a ccs issue - it is a html standard - thus your browser is not displaying the borders.
