[thelist] Using CSS to disable table tag's cellspacing attribute

Here's what I tried:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementsByTagName('table').removeAttribute('cellspacing');
</script>

...and also your code below, but couldn't get either to work. 

There's no class name for the table, so I'm not sure I could target it using
your method, which seems much simpler.

As Sarah said, it's border-collapse, but this only works in IE7 if
cellspacing has not been specified.

That does work for me.  What did you try?  I have this:

myTable.cellSpacing = 0;
