Table formatting woes in asp.net

Please forgive my all-encompassing ignorance, but I just can't get my table to look right in my webform.

I declare a table:

<table>
</table>

and it has no border. There is an attribute for border, as such:

<table border="1">
</table>

but asp.net tells me that the border attribute is 'obsolete'. I try to add it in CSS...

.table{ border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; }

...but this just puts a border around the whole table, not the individual cells.

All I want is a normal looking table with lines around each cell. What is the proper way to do this?

Use this:

table, table th, table td { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; }

(need to apply the border to the table-cells too)

The code above won't work as...

.table{ border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; }

is looking for a class of "table" and not a table element. Either update the table class to "table"...

<table class="table">

...or change your CSS to find the table element itself.

table{ border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; }

You will also need to style th and td elements to have the border.
