Basically I used the I.E. Developer Tools to see what parts needed what. And what I discovered is that the TD that has the ID "_invisibleIfEmpty" needs to be specifically told to set the padding to 0 px.
You can do this with CSS
#_invisibleIfEmpty {
padding: 0px;
}
Or you can do this with JQuery
$("#_invisibleIfEmpty").attr("style", "padding:0px");
