i would like to display a table of fixed 5 rows even if some of the rows are empty, how could i do this? because i would like the table height displayed to be fixed.

I notice when there are say only 2 rows of values, the table height shrinks.

what i want to do is to display a table (SQL) in fixed 5x4 dimension even though the table is empty i.e. very much like a 5x4 table you insert in a Word doc or powerpoint slides. i dont wan the table height to vary with number of non-empty rows 

I use CSS to bypass the problem.  

Case closed.
