Question

This is inline code of a .aspx page:-

<table>
<tr>
 <td>Some static data</td>
 <td>Text box control</td>
 <td><div id="div1"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

Third <td> has a div ‘div1’. This div does not have any data most of time on that page. But sometimes i need to display some dynamic data there). Now problem is, if there is no data in div ‘div1’, firefox consider it as a space in it and takes approx. 5px space in browser. (But IE8 in compatibility view is fine)

What is the work around here for firefox?

Answer 1

I’d consider if you actually need the div – I guess you are filling it with data in certain circumstances by targetting the ID, by why not just target the table cell instead?

<table>
<tr>
 <td>Some static data</td>
 <td>Text box control</td>
 <td id="div1"></td>
</tr>
</table>
