cellspacing not showing in IE8

[queen barbara]

I've created a table with a colored background that includes the HTML code
cellspacing="4". In all other browsers, including IE7, this puts a white
border around each cell in the table. But the cellspacing does not display in
IE8. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Barbara,

Doctype makes all the difference.

When debugging your pages always turn off the setting on the Advanced tab
"Recover from rendering errors with compatibility View".

Press F12 to display the developer tool, then Validate>HTML menu. Correct
your markup errors as recommended by the W3C validator.

There is a user setting to ignore colors specified on web pages. Your IE8
browser may have that setting enabled.

Regards.
