I've got a website I'm currently trying to design for the school I currently go to, and it's coming along quite nicely.

I've made it conform to specifications and stuff, but I'm having a slight problem with Internet Explorer displaying my tables correctly.

I've set border-spacing: 0px; and padding: 0px; in the stylesheet, and this works fine in Firefox:



But in Internet Explorer, it looks like this:


Anyone know of a fix (without using cellpadding and cellspacing= as they're not W3C Compatible.. )

Note: Ignore the crappy news articles, that's just me and another moderating testing it. And Doddie... he's a friend, not me

Have you got a link where we can see a working example, and see the source?

Thanks
try:

code:

---

td, tr {
padding:0px; }

---

Ahh, thanks

And... oooh that link wasn't supposed to work... the Apache service on my PC has been stopped for like 2hrs 0_o

And... it didn't work. Any other suggestions? (I tried border-spacing: collapse; as well)

Stylesheet
Main Page

Don't know the problem but when you remove the <th></th> property the padding goes back to nothing. Try using <span class="article_header"></span> instead.

That breaks the validation unfortunatly (span elements aren't allowed outside tr or something) so basically I've taken a "screw-IE" view, since apparently it's fixed in IE7.

Have you tried setting the headers margin to 0?

It would make more sense to use a header element (e.g. h2) to replace it, because then you are still marking that element as a header for something. Nothing major but its for sematics sake

Microsoft = Crap.

I guess I'm gonna have to spam "Get Firefox" stickers all over my site.

[For now, I've given in and used cellspacing]
