   I'm new to wp, but I have worked in html for years.

   I'm trying to add a simple table without borders:

   <table border="0"><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>

   But the border always appears.

   I've also tried it using the "style" comment:

   <table style="border-width: 0;"><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>

   But there's always a border.

   Any ideas on how to do this?

   Thanks!

   The blog I need help with is steveachelis.wordpress.com.

   Ah! Thanks, justjennifer. I didn't realize I needed the style="border:none;" within each <td> tag...

   Arg. I purchased the CSS update and added this to the CSS:

   table {
   border:none;
   }

   td {
   border:none;
   }

   And the borders still appear.

   Ideas?

   Thanks!

   Got it. I needed to use:

   #content table, #content tr td {border:none;}

   Afraid I can't help you there. I'm on XP, so no IE9.
