I want to create horizontally-aligned table cells like the ones on this page.

I've followed the instructions, and I've even copied the css and markup verbatim, but no matter what I do IE 8 renders my table cells as blocks (stacked on top of each other instead of aligned next to each other).

css:

<style type="text/css">

body.TableStyles {
    display: inline-table;
    border-spacing: 4px;
}

div.maketable p {
    display: table-cell;
    width: 20%;
    background-color: #cdf;
    padding: 4px;
}

</style>

markup:

<body class="TableStyles">
<div class="maketable">
        <p>< prev</p>

        <p>next ></p>
</div>

</body>
