CSS within <DIV> Tags

I am taking an online course and learning javascript, html5 and CSS. I am having an issue with getting my table to be formatted with my css file. It is inside a DIV tag:

<div data-role="main" class="ui-content">

I am trying to do with my CSS:

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

And I tried doing .ui-content table th, td {} and nothing and I tried a few others, but I am still stuck with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When have space between element you are targeting children of that element while when you have commas you are targeting multiple elements.

In your case to be able to apply a border to the th, td and table you would need to do:

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

But if you want to apply the css to the th and td inside of a table element you would need to do

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

With the html you have

<div data-role="main" class="ui-content">
    <table>
        <tr>
          <th>Grade</th>
          <th>Numeric Equivalent</th>
          <th>Explanation</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>A</td>
          <td>95-100</td>
          <td><strong>Excellent.</strong></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</div>

Your css should be

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