Could someone darken the internal borders? They're barely visible on an LCD monitor. -- Gordon Ecker 20:47, 25 February 2007 (EST)
 * I'm using LCD and I see them fine. What browser are you using? - B e X o R  03:57, 26 February 2007 (EST)
 * It's a problem in IE. I'll try get it to work the same as it does in Firefox and if I can't I'll revert it. All of the borders are solid for me, and the one colour, and I'm using Firefox. - B e X o R  04:02, 26 February 2007 (EST)
 * The borders technically show up in IE, but they're a really pale, barely visible shade of grey instead of showing up black like they do in Firefox. -- Gordon Ecker 04:10, 26 February 2007 (EST)
 * Yeah, I'm reading my css book to see if I can change that. :) - B e X o R  04:11, 26 February 2007 (EST)
 * It looks like just an incompatability problem. There is no css property to change cell border colours, unless you specify on each cell with html what the border colour should be. The border colour only shows up on the outside of the table in both browsers, until you use border-collapse, and then the border shows on all the cells for FF, but still only the outside again for IE. If you don't use border-collapse the border colors arent visible in ie (unless you specify in your style tag), and in FF the color is only visible on the top and left sides of the table. Even with the pale gray lines, I think its visually an improvement. The old style reminded me of the way websites used to look in the 90s. The old STDT looked a lot better in IE than it did in FF. It was really dark and ugly in FF. I don't know how we're even expected to use the profession border colours when they don't work. :S If you really feel that the pale grey borders cause that much of a problem you can revert it, but I think it looks better in both browers now anyway, it just might take getting used to. - B e X o R  05:18, 26 February 2007 (EST)
 * I couldn't darken the internal borders for IE, but I changed it so that they show properly solid in Firefox and show in that 3d style in IE. A compromise at least. - B e X o R  17:09, 26 February 2007 (EST)
