border-top not displaying in ie

[catent]

Hi

I'm new to css and trying to create my first web site.

In my shop i have products displayed using a table. In the individual row I'm displaying a blue 1px solid line on the top border.

tr {
border-top: solid 1px #0000ff;
}

This works in Firefox but not IE.

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards

Teresa

You can trick IE into rendering the visual that you want. Collapse the borders on the table, assign the border-top to the <td> and it will display as if a <tr>. You can still adjust the look of the whole thing with padding and such. Don't work a whole lot with tables, so you may get a prettier solution from someone else. This works though. You could also make the 'fix/hack' an IE conditional so that the nice clean code can be kept separate from the ugliness:))

table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table {
margin: 1em;
}
td {
border-top: 1px solid #00f; font-size: 1.1em; padding: .4em;
}
