Can't get lines around table borders/cells [migrated]
- by Ira Baxter
I have several web pages containing tables, for which I'd like to have line-borders around the tables and the cells. In fact, some of these pages existed for several years already, and rendered acceptly in IE6, IE7.
We switched about 6 months ago to a completely different set of style sheets to change our site look and feel. We also switched to "modern" browsers such as IE8 (and because I couldn't stop Vista) to IE9.
Now the borders don't render at all.
I spent a day fighting with this about a month ago, and failed to fix it. It seemed that I could reduce the page down to just the barest table and IE8 would still not render the border. I think I decided IE8 was just buggy, but I'm not an HTML expert so it is more likely that I'm buggy.
(I'm just getting back to this; I'll go see if I can find that reduced page).
Here is one such page:

The tables should be obvious; you can tell them by their absence of lines :-{

Any suggestions?
