Trouble with tables

Greetings, newbie to WP here…

Attempting to add tables with text created in Dreamweaver to one of my WP pages. Using the WP html editor, the code is input fine. When I close the editor, the table show in the rich text editor fine. However, when I hit save or save & continue editing, WP strips all of the table info except the top <table> info and the initial text in that cell. Everything else goes “bye-bye.” Any clues or suggestions? I know that WP does sometimes strip standard html or changes it to be more compliant…

here’s the code:

<table width=”400″ border=”1″ cellpadding=”3″ cellspacing=”0″ bordercolor=”#336699″ bgcolor=”#CCCCCC”>
<tr align=”center” valign=”middle”>
<td colspan=”4″ align=”left” >Career Statistics AT KENT STATE (Tackles)</td>
</tr>
<tr align=”center” valign=”middle” >
<td width=”100″ align=”left” ><b>STAT</b></td>
<td width=”100″ ><b>2003</b></td>
<td width=”100″ ><b>2004</b></td>
<td width=”100″ ><b>Total</b></td>
</tr>
<tr align=”center” valign=”middle” >
<td width=”100″ align=”left” >GP/GS</td>
<td width=”100″ >13/5</td>
<td width=”100″ >10/8</td>
<td width=”100″ ><b>23/13</b></td>
