Description

I'm trying to make sure that in IE, empty cells have outlines. The CSS doesn't work in IE, so my workaround used jquery. Unfortunately, in some odd cases, this doesn't seem to work and gives "Unexpected call to method or property access." Here is the code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1">
<style type="text/css">
/*style here*/
</style>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("td:empty").html(" ");
        });
    </script>
 
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>Data Here</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I also tried

:

$(document).ready(function () {
$("td").append(" ")
});

Thanks!
