I have an html table within a div of a specific size. I want the table to apply margin collapse and be 100% wide. Here is my code. It renders how I want it to in IE8 and incorrectly in Firefox. Firefox may be doing the spec correctly, but whatever. How do I fix my css to work in both browsers?

<style type="text/css">
table
{
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
}
table
{
margin: 10px 0;
width: 100%;
display: block;
}

{
margin: 10px 0;

{
border: 1px solid #000000;

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 600px; border: 1px purple solid;">
<p>Some text at the top. Notice that the margin collapse does not work unless display:block.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
<th>Header 3</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Label 1</td>
<td>1.A</td>
<td>1.B</td>
<td>1.c</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Label 2</td>
<td>2.A</td>
<td>2.B</td>
<td>2.c</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Some text at the bottom. Notice that the margin collapse does not work unless display:block. Its stupid.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I need the display:block for margin collapsing to work in Firefox. If you remove the display:block, you should notice that the spacing between the <p> tags widens from 10px to 20px.
This is also an edit to this question that I posted earlier, but it won't let me edit for some reason. I've been messing around with my internet cache so I probably messed up a cookie.
