  I’m new to wp, but I have worked in html for years.

  I’m trying to add a simple table without borders:

  <table border=”0″><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>

  But the border always appears.

  I’ve also tried it using the “style” comment:

  <table style=”border-width: 0;”><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>

  But there’s always a border.

  Any ideas on how to do this?

  Thanks!

  Ah! Thanks, justjennifer. I didn’t realize I needed the style=”border:none;” within each <td> tag…

  Arg. I purchased the CSS update and added this to the CSS:

  table {
  border:none;
  }

  td {
  border:none;
  }

  And the borders still appear.

  Ideas?

  Thanks!

  Got it. I needed to use:

  #content table, #content tr td {border:none;}

  Afraid I can’t help you there. I’m on XP, so no IE9.
