  Hello, so I went online and got my code for a html table. The table looks good in the “edit page” visual mode. But when I click preview or even update the page the result looks nothing like it did in the edit mode. Here is the code I used for the table:

  Table code
  <table style=”background-color: #99ccff;” width=”400″ border=”1″ cellspacing=”1″ cellpadding=”3″>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td>Table Cell</td>
  <td>Table Cell</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>

  Here is what I get when I publish the page: http://fringeparanormal.wordpress.com/para-news-3/para-radio/

  Not only that, but when I mouse over the table, the table background that IS there turns white.

  Any help with this would be great. Thanks, Don

  Have you done anything to the CSS, previously?

  used your code in my “testing blog” post

  http://dlager.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/table-test/ ..with the “beach” theme
  and it looks good and correct. Mouse-over is turns it yellow.

  If you haven’t altered the CSS, I am wondering if it is the theme.(mystique)

  If you mean you don’t want the bg color, see here:
