table border problem

[nicky77]

Hi, I'm tabulating some information on a web page and for some reason i can't get any borders to show on the table. Probably something silly but i've looked over this and can't find any problem with the code. Also, the other styling commands for the table data, e.g font, width etc are responding fine. There are just no borders being displayed on IE or Firefox. Any help would be great.

The CSS

table{
width:650px;
border-collapse:collapse;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border:2px black;
}
 
th{
font-weight:600;
font-size:0.7em; 
border:2px black;
}
 
td{
font-weight:400;
font-size:0.7em; 
border:1px black;
}
 

The HTML (with PHP delivered content)

<table>
    <tr>
    <th>Test Name</th>
    <th>Date Created</th>
    </tr>
<tr>
<td>//database delivered content here </td>
<td>......</td>
</tr>
</table>

You aren't specifying what kind of border. Change it to border:1px solid black.
