Created Tables Aren't Showing Up

I posted table in one my articles and it's not showing up correctly. I've taken the same HTML and posted it other sites and message boards to test it out and it works fine. What am I doing wrong? Could be something in my CSS?

I'm using Joomla 1.5.15

Hi

Please tell me how You would like to have those tables look like? And please do something about the fotos of the actors. Make a thumbs of it, please do not put so big photos. It's making my site load forever ;/

Aww I'm sorry. I'll resize them eventually. I was pissed the table didn't load like I wanted it to.

Basically I designed the table to include color to break up the monotony of the white. However none of the color showed up, nor did the border show up properly.

This is one of my table codes:

Code: Select all

<table width="736" height="783" border="3" color="black">
  <tr bgcolor="#000000">
    <td width="62"><strong>Rank</strong></td>
    <td width="144"><strong>Info</strong></td>

I'm having a simlair issue.

background colours and padding seem not to be controlable via standard html.

I just did a test on the following;

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>xxx</td>
<td style="background-color: #000000;">xxx</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FF0000">xxxx</td>
<td>xxxx</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

The: <td style="background-color: #000000;">xxx</td> shows but the <td bgcolor="#FF0000">xxxx</td> does not and also there is extra padding coming from somewhere.

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Mark

Hi

It's probably overwritten by css style. Please show me this site with table.
