IE Border-Collapse

[kepha]

When I use IE and use a border-collapse with this code:

<table cellspacing="0px" style="border-collapse:collapse;">

  <tr>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
   <td colspan="3" style="border:1px solid black;">Data 1</td>
   <td colspan="7">Data 2</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
   <td colspan="1">Data 3</td>
   <td colspan="7" style="border:1px solid black;">Data 4</td>
   <td colspan="2">Data 5</td>
  </tr>

</table>

For some reason the, the element Data 4 is missing its border on the top where it doesn't touch Data 1. This appears to be a bug in IE because it works fine in Firefox. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this problem without removing the border-collapse?

Sorry, you're right. I changed the colspans. Try it again and you'll see the problem.

No, it's still not working in IE.

Cool, it does work. Thanks.

But now what should I do when I add a third row?

<style type="text/css">
	td{}
	
	* html .x{border-top:1px solid #ffffff;position:relative;}
	* html .y{border-bottom:1px solid black;}
	
	*+html .x{border-top:1px solid #ffffff;position:relative;}
	*+html .y{border-bottom:1px solid black;}
</style>


<table cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;">

  <tr>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
   <td colspan="3" style="border:1px solid black;">Data 1</td>
   <td colspan="7" class="y">Data 2</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
   <td colspan="1">Data 3</td>
   <td colspan="7" style="border:1px solid black;">Data 4</td>
   <td colspan="2" class="x">Data 5</td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
  	<td colspan="3">Data 6</td>
	<td colspan="6" style="border: 1px solid black;">Data 7</td>
	<td colspan="1">Data 8</td>
  </tr>

</table>

I'm now still getting the problem with Data 7.
