table borders won't separate in Firefox - 5/29/2008 13:02:20
Hi everyone,
Here's a switch: I'm having problems getting a table to display properly in Firefox 2.0.0.14, and yet it displays fine in IE7. (!)
The page is here. Warning: if you're highly squeemish about medical illustrations - nothing too gross though.
Note: I'm going to delete the above link after I have found an answer to this or given up, whichever comes first. Please also bear in mind that this website is created using a CMS and my ability to make coded changes is somewhat limited.
The text and illustrations should be in boxes that have 15px of space separating them (using a table definition that includes border-collapse: separate and cellspacing=15 ). Strangely, IE7 puts the spacing in correctly, but Firefox collapses the boxes together.
I've searched around this site and others to try to find out what the problem is and hopefully a solution, but nothing seems to match my situation. Maybe it's something obvious I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm pretty sure it's the border-spacing property - it's set to 0 in one an included stylesheet. Changing this seems to fix the problem.

Thanks very much Mane. Unfortunately I don't have access to the external CSS definitions, but I'll try setting that property in the in-line table code and see if that works. I appreciate the help.

I wouldn't drive yourself too crazy about this. If you can't find a reasonable solution [shrug].
No-one except us lot will be comparing the site on multiple browsers. As long as it looks good in all browsers and works well then that's what matters.
