Why might table borders not show up?

I created a table with the ckeditor, and the source does show a table border:

However, the resulting post doesn't have borders. A CSS issue on my site?

Thanks,

Yes, likely. Remember that

Yes, likely. Remember that css overrides html properties, so if css sets no border somewhere else, that is what you get. The way round that is to add ;border:1px solid to the style tag. This will take precedence over any other css.

Also, the usual gotcha in css is that setting a border width without a border style results in no border. 'border:1px solid' is valid css. 'border:1px' on its own is not.
