Why is cellpacing not supported in IE8?

Question

I have a table with the following set of properties. and the table is for repeater control results.

This works fine with IE7 / older versions and I can get the border for the table with the displayed results

But when you try to do the same with IE8, Cellspacing has no effect and cannot get the border around the table.

Any suggestion on how to solve this problem?

It looks like the IE team has changed a few things in version 8. More details here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533551(VS.85).aspx
