Description

[Fabien Méghazi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041119 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-3)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041119 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-3)

When a td is empty, the css rules for the borders are not applied.

This code will show the bug :

<style type="text/css">
#listing {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #369;
	border-right: 1px solid #369;
}
#listing td {
	padding:0 2 0 2;
	border-top: 1px solid #69c ;
	border-left: 1px solid #69c ;
}
</style>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="listing">
<tr>
	<td>Test1</td>
	<td>Test2</td>
	<td>Test3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Value1</td>
	<td></td>
	<td>Value2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td></td>
	<td></td>
	<td>Test4</td>
</tr>
</table>



Hope this is not another famous WONTFIX mozilla bug.

How about a strict doctype
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html to avoid quirks mode?
