I am building a new page, and I am currently using tables to place some boxes on the page. Everything looks as I want it with Firefox 2.0.0.15 and when I look with IE7, some of the boxes are thicker than FF shows, but one box is missing the border. The information directly below the "Family Links" should have a thin black border. Any idea what I can do to beat IE into submission?

Please, have a look and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Oh yes, the styles are located at: http://www.roberson-family.com/style/genealogy.css

I appreciate any help (I can't afford to pull my hair since it is almost gone).

Hi Bill,

I changed a couple of your styles so both td.nm and td.flink have a border width of "1px" rather than "thin". Also td.flink was missing the border-color which is added below.

td.nm {
width:25%;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color:#000000;
background-color:#EFEFEF;
vertical-align:top;
text-align:center;
font-size:x-small;
}

td.flink {
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:x-small;
color:#000000;
font-weight:bold;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color: #000000;
}

Cary,

Thanks! Sometimes it is the simple things that trip me up.

You have saved what little hair I still have.
