Portal - First Line Empty?

[Wickerman]

I've got very similar portals on two layouts. Each has 2 or 3 fields on a single line, and then a little icon at the end of the row for triggering a "Delete" script. Everythign works fine.

But on one layout, if there are no related records to display, the portal looks totally blank -- just a box with 7 lines of empty rows, no lines where the fields go.

. . . while on the other layout, with no related records, the layout displays a first row as though "ready to go" with empty fields visible and the delete button visible.

I can't figure what I've done in the one that I didn't do in the other! I prefer to have the fields/button visible.

Can someone explain the difference?

The portal with the visible row has allow creation of records through the portal turned on in the relationship, resulting in the first row awaiting input.
