Why does my table border show up in Firefox and Chrome but not Internet Explorer?

Question

I have some basic CSS on a table and I cannot get a border to display in IE6, IE7, or IE8. The border shows up in Chrome and Firefox. Here's the CSS:

#infoTable { width:500px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; border-collapse:collapse; border-width:thin !important; border-style:solid !important; } #infoTable td { max-width:150px; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; font-size: 10px; padding-bottom:15px; border-collapse:collapse; border-width:thin !important; border-style:solid !important; }

In my multiple attempts to get this to work, I added the !important tags to try to get it to work. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric R.

Thanks. I knew it was something stupid. I had forgotten about border-color.

Provide a border-color as well.

Edit:

Though, to be honest, I placed a table with the same styles as you provided in a plain HTML file, and a faint gray border showed up just fine in IE7.
