table  {
    border: 1px solid black;
}

You need to use the td selector to add a border to the cells

#3

I miswrote the title of my question. The border around the table will not show.

#4

What browser are you using? Your CSS is correct.

#5

Chrome Version 48.0.2564.116 (64-bit)

#6

No problem here (Chrome Version 49.0.2623.87 m) 64 bit.

#7

ill update and post results.

#8

Version 49.0.2623.87 (64-bit) Still no border.

#9

Please post your complete CSS and HTML once more, so we can test with the full suite. Thank you. Should probably have asked which version of Windows? (I'm using 7 Professional)

td  {
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px dashed blue;

table  {
    border: 1px;
}
#13 

table  {
    border: 1px solid black;
}
#14

Thats what I had earlier. I do not know why it changed. I updated my code and still no black border.

#15

What about,

table {
    border: 1px solid black;
}
#16

That is now what I have.

#17

With only one space?

#18

I did not . Tried it. Still no border.

#19

I'm knackered; just don't know what to suggest.

#20

Me neither. I am taking the rest of the night off from coding. I will tackle it tomorrow. Thanks for your time.

#21

I found my mistake. I forgot a curly brace after the td.

before
'''
td {
height: 50px;
border: 1px dashed blue;

'''

after

'''
td {
height: 50px;
border: 1px dashed blue;
}

'''
