SYMPTOMS

FrontPage Editor places a non-breaking space character ( ) in all empty table cells. If you remove this character from the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) source code, FrontPage replaces it. For example, FrontPage converts this HTML code

   <td></td>

to this:

   <td>&nbsp;</td>

CAUSE

FrontPage Editor inserts the non-breaking space character to make the table cell outline visible.
