I've made some changes in my .css file, and my tables are not picking up the .css styles. I have <table id="orig"> which links to this .css file below. My tables are not showing the borders. Any assistance would be helpful:

/* V3 */

#menu {

#menu li a {

#menu li a:link, #menu li a:visited {

Start with correcting the validation errors.

If that doesn't help, please post the URL to the problem page.

What the W3C CSS Checker doesn't see, but what the WDG Validator (link on this page) would have noticed, is that an ID must be unique in a page. You use #orig three times. You could use it as a class instead.

Hmm. I also have a feeling you mean 'table#orig' and so on rather than 'table #orig'. The latter selects an element with the id 'orig' that is contained in a table. It doesn't select the table itself, not even if it has the id 'orig' (unless it's nested inside another table).

Thank you, that worked like a charm.
