One little trick you can use is use firebug to inspect the table you
want to experiment with and copy it's html to a flat html file and
open the html file with IE and play around with it till you get it
right. The trick is to get the html how you want it, then roll the
changes into the java code using the DOM API. There are many little
tricks you can perform to get IE to layout tables correctly and
without actually seeing the table html I can give you 2 suggestions:
1)
FlexTable.setCellPadding(0);
FlexTable.setCellSpacing(0);
2) !!Only do this if you are not using percentages for column widths
or row heights anywhere in the table.
FlexTable.getElement().getStyle().setProperty("tableLayout", "fixed");

Another thing that can sometimes have an effect on how tables behave
in IE is DOCTYPE. Google recomends standards mode for their
LayoutPanels and sometimes quirks mode can help(if you aren't using
layout panels).
