Re: HTML table used in JTextPane not working with cellspacing="0" attribute

In Java 1.6 on Windows, I'm trying to display an HTML table in a

as a single line but it is instead displaying it as if cellspacing was
"1".

Interestingly,
1) cellspacing="20" makes a huge space, so it seems
to be honouring that attribute at some level, in some
form. I suspect that there is some other spacing in
there that the JEditorPane is (in its simplistic styling
of HTML) expecting to see for a true 'no pad' cell.
2) That document is valid HTML 3.2 Transitional!
(Yeah, you probably already knew that, but that is
just the first time anybody that I have seen, has
asked a question about JEP rendering, *and* were using
well-formed HTML - which I thought worthy of note.)

As a piece of general advice: Remove all style
attributes from HTML and put them in an external
style***, so that they can be validated in a CSS
validator. (It looks fine to me, but I am not as
accurate as a software validator.)

If I have any further insights into it, I
will pop back by.
