Details

When stating a table background color, that color sould occupy all space that 
the table covers.  If a cell is empty, but is explicitly told to occupy a 
certain amount of space (ex. for layout control), it should still use the 
background color that it's parent table is explicitly told to use, even if it 
recognizes an empty cell (identifiable by the absence of a cell border on that 
cell).  Current implementation simply 'skips' filling the table's BGCOLOR on 
that empty cell.  SEE EXAMPLE CODE BELOW

Reproducable in previous versions of Netscape on PC & Mac, and in current 
version of Mozilla.

EXAMPLE CODE SNIPPET:

<table bgcolor="red" border="2">
<tr><td height="20">This will be red background</td></tr>
<tr><td height="20"></td></tr>
<tr><td height="20">The above should be red, because it is part of a red 
table<br>but it won't be, because the cell is empty</td></tr>
<tr><td height="20">&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td height="20">The above cell will be red because it contains a 
space</td></tr>
<tr><td>Thanks for the great work!</td></tr>
</table>
