Hi,

This is driving me nuts, for some time, I had border-spacing displaying correctly on both IE and FF.

Suddenly, the border-spacing property stopped working on IE (now it's always like border-spacing:1px; or something), athough it still works on FF.

Approximately at the same time, I made a false manipulation (had to remake settings.php) and it seems to have caused it - but I'm not sure. Especially, I fully backed up my site and reinstalled it from scratch (with a brand new settings.php). And the border-spacing property is still broken on IE.

Weirder (is that a word?), when I redeploy the site on my own wamp server (instead of my provider's server) the border-spacing is displayed properly.

It seems that file encoding has something to do with it - switching IE to quirks mode? - but I'm grabbing at ideas here as I just don't know where to look at.

Has anyone run into this already and found a way to fix it?

Did you use the !DOCTYPE property? This is neccessary for IE8

First like salty mentioned make sure you validate (Strict if possible). If you still have problems add conditional stylesheets to your theme to target specific versions of IE.
