Now, will you please explain me how does your answer relate to my question? It's like going to the doctor saying "my arm hurts when I move it like this" and hearing the doctor answer "then don't do it". In both cases the usefullness of the answer is far below zero.

Has it occured to you that maybe, just maybe, I'm not using a table for page design, but instead to display a data table? And yes, it needs to be nested. Why should I be using DIVs and ULs as you suggest? Are tables deprecated even when used as tables?

Anyway, such an answer surely doesn't solve the problem I pointed out. Thanks anyway.

actually, the problem happens on all the 3 browsers we use to test our web application here in the company I work for: IE8, FF3.6 and Chrome5.

I've seen your example, but our problem usually happens then the TD with the colspan have a nested table inside it...

I'll try to set up an example if I can.

I'd gladly do it, but our application is not accessible from the "outside". I'll try, if I can find the time, to setup a sandbox on JSFiddle.
