CSS file does not apply to border types (font/links work though)

[VincentCorp]

I have a td element in my html file:
<td class="tableborder" width="735" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="top">
If I put inside the HTML file it works fine but I want a central CSS
file.
<Style.tableborder{border-style: groove;border: 2;border-color:
#FF0000;}</style>


my CSS file which is linked in the html file:
<link href="churchCSS.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

in churchCSS.css I have:
..tableborder{border-style: groove;border: 2;border-color: #FF0000;}

Unfortunately the style is not picked up, while link styles and other
font styles DO work! I don't understand, please help i've looked
around a good bit.

<Style>

Needs to be: <style type="text/css">

2 what? Hobnobs? Slices of pizza? Meters?

You need a unit, such as 2px.
