HTML Table Formatting

Permalink
I have a basic question about tables in C5. I'm running C5.5 on a site and have added a table to one page that includes a sports schedule with location, dates, times and results. I've got all the information in the table but I'm having a hard time styling the table. The worst part is I can't seem to turn on cell borders. They just won't show up. I don't get it. I've tried enabling them from different places. I've tried different browsers. When I look at the final HTML in a browser and use Firebug to dump the HTML I see
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" style="width: 750px;">. But the border doesn't show up.

Here is an example.

<table border="1">
<tr title="You are looking at Row 1" bgcolor="silver">
<td>Row 1 Cell 1</td>
<td>Row 1 Cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr title="You are looking at Row 2" bgcolor="aqua">
<td>Row 2 Cell 1</td>
<td>Row 2 Cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

When I cut and paste this into the HTML block, the colors show up but the border doesn't. When I cut and paste it into a Content block, the TinyMCE shows the borders but the final web page does not. Any ideas?

If you answer, could you walk me through it? There are a lot of places to add CSS and I'm not sure how to add classes or IDs to particular elements.

With a little more trial and error I found that this is done by the Greek Yogurt theme. The other 3 built-in themes work fine with tables with borders. Now I just need to find the line that is causing the problem...
