Set border to table tr, works in everything except IE 6 & 7

Question

I set the border for the table event_calendar tr to be red, it works in everything except IE 6 & 7. What is wrong with my CSS?

table#event_calendar tr {
         


        

Answer 1

Your CSS is sensible enough, but IE just doesn't do borders on tr elements. If you use this style you should get the intended result though:

table#event_calendar {
    border-top:1px solid red;
    border-right:1px solid red;
    border-left:1px solid red;
    border-collapse:collapse;
}

table#event_calendar td, table#event_calendar th {
    border-bottom:1px solid red;

}
