Empty cell not showing background-image or color

Update on this *#? Netscape/Mozilla issue

[tomda]

Hi,

I have done some major modifications in my CSS months ago...
Yesterday, I did one modif and I had the bad idea to check my layout in Netscape 6.2

Wahh! Indeed, I forgot that :

Border collapse is not working in Netscape, so I have to add the unnecessary "cellspacing=0" to all my table element.

background-color and image are not showing when the table cell is empty. I'd like to have an update on this topic. Is adding <br> or "& n b s p;" the only way to go?

Thanks

Does anyone use Netscape 6.2 any more? I checked my server logs recently to find that I'd never had a single Netscape 6 hit (although tbh I don't get huge traffic).

OK.... Then, I'll just make the most important pages clean.
If nobody is using Netscape nowadays (N 6 was really ugly BTW)

Older versions of Netscape (4.x, 6.x) don't see huge use in general, but newer versions (7.x, 8) are pretty up to date and well used. Also remember that post-4.x Netscapes are based on Mozilla, so you should also take into account hits from Mozilla and Firefox when deciding support.
