Borders on tables

[Dexie]

Can anyone see where this code is going wrong please? For some reason the styles for the sizes of the borders are not working? ;-(

<table cellspacing="30px" cellpadding="30px" width="96%" style="background-color:#008EA6; border-top:14px; border-right:16px; border-bottom:14px; border-left:16px; solid #008ea6;">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#febc11" width="100%">

<table width="100%"; style="border:10px solid #febc11; cellpadding="24" border-top:13px; border-right:16px; border-bottom:13px; border-left:16px">

typo at

cellpadding="24" 

should read

cellpadding:24;

Snarky answer: The explanation was visible even before opening the post, because this is the HTML subforum. In the present century, presentational matters such as borders around tables are appropriately handled in CSS.

table.classname {border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 30px; width: 95%; background-color:#008EA6; border:14px solid #FFF; border-right-width:16px; border-left-width: 16px;}
td.classname OR table.classname td ... et cetera

Seriously though ... Part of the question seems to have been cut off.

What did you intend to see? What did you actually see? What's with the fragment "solid #008ea6;" and did you really mean to set a border to the same color as the background? Can't that be done with padding instead?

Thanks Nick - problem solved.
