td display:block not working for internet explorer

  1. <table>
  2.   <tr>
  3.     <td style="display:block">Cell 1</td>
  4.     <td style="display:block">Cell 2</td>
  5.   </tr>
  6. </table>
The above HTML displays the following in Fire Fox

Cell 1
Cell 2

However, in Internet Explorer 8 it displays the following:

Cell 1 Cell 2

Does anyone have any idea how to achieve Fire Fox's rendering without making any changes to the structure of the HTML except for styles?

I've spent more than a day trying to come up with a solution to this problem, and I must say I think I am going a bit demented at this stage.

Thanks,

Philip

It seems you may have uncovered a bug in IE8.

I'm trying to do a nav list using list items. Roughly this is putting links styled display: block and with a background color. In IE5 (windows, haven't tried Mac yet), adding the display: block for the link adds a bit of whitespace between the list items. NS7.1 does not do this. Why the whitespace (about 5px)? Is it possible to get IE and NS looking

G'day. Is there a known "display:block;" problem in opera?

When using display:block in a list array, is there a way to give a bit of seperation between the actual displays? ul {display:block;} ul li {display:block;} <ul> <li>item 1</> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li>

I'm having some problem here... I have a javascript I've downloaded that goes through all PNG files and enables the transparency channel in them for IE5.5+ by converting them to SPAN layers with the image as background. This works great until I put one of these PNG files inside a display:none block and later sets the block to display:block - then the SPAN (that was the PNG <img>) remains hidden.

Hi Im having problem in firefox with display:none/block. I have essentially 3 li elements. In each element there are a few nested div:s. Clicking on one of the divs, makes another div to display: block or none. Again this works in IE. In ff it has a bug. When the display is none for a div in the first li, then the next li (the one underneath) moves up to the right, looking very ugly. Is there someone who has had the

I try to understand what could be the source of a problem with displaying and hiding rows of tables using display:block/none. I've read selfhtml but could not find any hint about that. Any pointers why that can happen, or how I should take care of that type of problem/effect are highly appreciated. The problem... A couple times the hiding/displaying works, but _occasionally_ the entries are hidden but _blank lines appear_, instead.
