I'm trying to create a fairly simple table to lay out an itinerary.
Currently I'm using OpenOffice as it makes it easy to generate the table with row spans and column spans etc. It actually seems to produce quite straightforward HTML.
However neither Firefox 3 nor IE 7 seem to display the table borders correctly. Firefox 3 does really wierd things to some of the borders and IE 7 just shows them with differing thicknesses.
All I want is the same cell/table borders everywhere.

For what it's worth: with one possible exception, using Iceweasel 2.0.0.18 it looks fine. The "odd one out" is that the big empty box at the bottom right (spanning the last 4 rows) has thinner border lines than the other cells (which all have the same, thicker, border thicknesses).
That's how IE 7 shows it too. It's better than Firefox manages but it's still "not right".
It's as if Firefox is trying to do some sort of clever shading as if it's lit from one corner but not doing very well because of the non symmetrical layout. Maybe there's a CSS setting which will tell it not to be clever.
I couldn't spot anything in the HTML which might correspond to this, but then I'm no HTML expert at all!
No, neither can I, but the row spans look a little odd to me on staring at it a bit more.
