Rendering table headers when no records found

[AH Jaworski]

I have set up a table with a search form. Users can use this search form 
to filter the shown records in the table. In my table header I included 
an image as link (a tooltip). When the table contains rows, this is 
displayed like it should be. However, when there are "no records found", 
the rendering looks different. My link in the table header gets 
rewritten to html entities: < gets &lt;.

In addition, also the <th>-class attributes are not rendered, but this 
is correct, since you dont want a sortable empty table.

I see in Table.class:1813 of Apache Click an if-else statement for when 
the rowlisty is empty. Is this the cause of the difference in rendering?

Kind regards,
Antek
