    Hi.
    Currently I'm using WordPress system for one of my website. The theme forces every border, margin and padding to be at 0. All's good except that if I want to use tables, borders will always be 0. If I try to play around with theme's CSS file, layout crashes.

    I've tried the xhtml tables, but only made it so that outside borderline of the table worked. Inside (cells) borders still don't appear.}

    I added the following:

    .special {
    border: 1px dotted silver;
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    and classed my table to class=special.

    Any ideas how to fix the table problem?

    Thanks a million! :D

    table cells are <td> so if table uses a class named special then try

    .special td {
    border: 1px dotted silver;
    }
