visiblity:hidden of table-cell hides background-color of parent table-row
I would consider box-shadow to simulate a background coloration and avoid this bug *
.container {
display: table;
}
#tableRow {
display: table-row;
box-shadow: -100vw 0 0 red inset;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
padding: 10px;
}
#hide {
visibility: hidden;
}
<div class="container">
<div id="tableRow">
<a href="#" class="cell">Visible</a>
<a href="#" class="cell" id="hide">Not visible</a>
<a href="#" class="cell">Visible</a>
</div>
</div>
*it's probably not a bug but I am not able to find any specification describing this behavior
