IE8 CSS rendering issue (table)?

The table is not coded correctly, you have one th (cell) with no colspans specified, and in the table itself some rows have 6 cells (columns) and some have 5. Any browser may have trouble evening that up ;).

The table is not coded correctly, you have one th (cell) with no colspans specified, and in the table itself some rows have 6 cells (columns) and some have 5. Any browser may have trouble evening that up ;) Then you are floating the single th - IE 7 and below don't understand float on a table cell/header element and will be forcing the whole of the 1st column to be as wide as the header link If I can suggest you stick to one method or another, either floating a header outside the table, or even putting it in it's own element - and then using table-layout: fixed on the entire table so that the columns are forced to be of equal width. That should help even it up.. but mainly if you decide that the table is to have six columns (whether all of them are used or not) then for example that single th should be get the table HTML right first and the rest should perfectly OK across browser if you then want to make it look like there's gaps between table rows and table headings you can pad the th.. but I don't really see a need for it to float outside the table structure.

Did you get it rendering similarly across browser yet, repost code (edit the question to add it) if you're still having issues now - and Yes, empty cells are valid :) – clairesuzy Jul 8 at 6:48 Just be aware that truly empty table cell often won't render properly in IE, especially if you have styling on the cell (as opposed to the row, for example). Try putting a non-breaking space ( ) into the cell to fix that.

Remove the left and right padding: padding: 10px; becomes padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px; Hope this helps! N.S.

1 that would have been one solution also, thanks for insight :) I changed TH colspan="6" which seems to be quite good way to do it. – Juuso Palander Jul 8 at 6:33.

In regards to empty cells. It used to be that you needed at least an to have it render properly across browsers. I think that may no longer be case with current versions.As an aside, I would recommend using tools like firefox webdeveloper and firebug .

Webdeveloper has a plethora of nice features along with a link to the w3c Validator which has helped me find malformed html.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
