Is this the right newsgroup for IE css questions?

Hi

I'm having problems getting with older (v5.5 and 6) versions of IE to render
correctly when using css - is this the right newsgroup to post this
questions about this to? If not, please could someone suggest a better one?
The people at the non-Microsoft css newsgroups don't seem to be interested
in trying to solve IE-specific problems, especially not for IE5.5, which
so0me of them are dismissive of the users of (but there are still quite a
lot of IE5.5 users, so it's a problem).

Yes, 1.7% of millions of people is still a large number of people. It means
that if I get 1000 visitors a day (and I expect to get a lot more than
that), 17 of them on average will probably be IE5.5 users. There are more
IE5.5 users than Opera users, and almost as many IE5.5 users as Safari users
(Mac and Windows combined).

Thanks - here's my first question.

See my mock-up of a table at http://tinyurl.com/3cvjzc. It displays
correctly in all non-IE browsers and in IE6, 7 and 8; but in IE5.5 the
outside borders of the table don't display, for some reason that I haven't
been able to get to the bottom of. Can anyone work out what it is
specifically about my table that IE5.5 can't cope with, and what I need to
tweak in my css (using conditional comments if necessary) in order to get it
to display correctly in IE5.5?

I would just do the following with plain HTML:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="550">
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#808080">
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20%" bgcolor="#FF8700" valign="middle" align="center">Heading</td>
<td width="60%" bgcolor="#FF8700" valign="middle" align="center">Heading</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FF8700" valign="middle" align="center">Heading</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FF8700" valign="middle" align="center">Heading</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Text</td>
<td width="60%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">text</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">4</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Text</td>
<td width="25%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">text</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">4</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Total</td>
<td width="60%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">17</td>
<td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" align="center">14</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
