CSS to make an empty cell's border appear?

im using css to add a border to tags. The issue is no border is created if the tag is empty ex <td></td>.

One work around is to use the white space   but that would involve writing a script to check if the data is going to be empty or not.

Is there a better way to use the CSS so that the border will show?

Try:

table { empty-cells:show; }
