[oXygen-user] Author view CSS and content property

[Octavian]

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.
It seems to be a problem when you specify an empty string content in css 
for an element and that element is empty. I added an issue on our 
internal issue tracker regarding this behavior.
If you want to have empty table cells without showing the word "entry" 
on a grey background it is not necessarily to modify the css file. You 
can hide the empty elements placeholders ("element name" on a grey 
background) by unchecking "Show placeholders for empty elements" option. 
This can be found in Options->Preferences-> Editor/Pages/Author options 
page.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Octavian
