Bug with IE and TABLE padding?

Hi there,

the following works perfectly in Opera and Netscape, but not IE. Is this a
known problem? I have a table defined with the following definition:

table {
margin-top: 30px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
width: 700px;
}

Within this table, I have a number of rows and columns, but the padding
attributes in the TABLE definition seem to be ignored by the individual TD
tags in HTML.

In Netscape/Opera the layout is as follows (use non-proportional font):

-----------------------------------
| | | | |
| |content |content | |
| | | | |
-----------------------------------

The first and last "columns" represents the padding of the table and not
actual columns.

In IE, it appears as follows:

-----------------------------------
| | |
|content |content |
| | |
-----------------------------------

The width of the columns is slightly off in the IE version. I've tried
adding a margin to the TD of the first column in an IE-specific stylesheet,
but that didn't work...can anyone suggest anything?

Cheers in advance,
Kieran

Emergency over, have found a workaround that seems to hold at the moment.
Cheers,

I am having a problem where an extra gap (whitespace, padding) appears in a table cell where I don't want it. The data fed in the table is via dynamic HTML, so the amount in the middle cell may vary. When the data in the middle table cell is little and that cell's height is small, an unwanted gap appears in the first table cell. I would prefer to have all additional blank space at the bottom of the table (last row) and not have any in...

I'm extremely new to javascript and to programming in general. I am trying to create an interactive table. I have already created the table with constants, in the key of C (it is for music). what I would like to do is to create a dropdown box that would enable the user to select all 12 keys, then based on that choice, have the whole table re-calculate, basically transposing all the data up or down. how would I go about doing this.
