tbody padding-top ignored by IE

[1DMF]

Why won't IE honour the tbody padding-top ?

#ajwin {
    display:none;
    background-color:#fff;
    z-index:999; 
    width:685px;
    height:200px !important; 
    position:absolute;      
    margin-top:-15px;
    margin-left:-5px;
    border:0px solid #000;
    overflow:auto; 
    }

#ajwin thead {
    height:20px !important;
    display:block; 
    width:665px;    
    position: fixed; 
    background-color:#fff;
    z-index:9999; 
    margin-top:-2px;       
    }
    
#ajwin tbody {
    height:180px !important;
    display:block;  
    width:100%;    
    padding-top:15px !important;     
    }

I have a div with an overflow, I set the thead as fixed so when the content is scrolled the table headings stay visible, only I need to compensate as the first table row in the tbody get's hidden behind the fixed thead.

So I add padding to the tbody, and this works in FireFox, Opera, Chrome but not IE?

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

well I found a resolve, by ignoring sematics and creating two tables, one with just headings that is position:fixed and a second with the table row data with the padding applied.

not great but it works, so hey ho!
