Apparently Mozilla/Firefox doesn't support the bordercolor attribute of
the table tag.

Here's what I do that works in IE:

<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="380"
bordercolor="#CB0017">

Now, if I add this to my CSS:

TABLE.standings { border: 1px solid #CB0017; }

and rewrite my HTML like this:

<table border="o" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="380"
class="standings">

There are no lines between the cells only around the edge of the table.

How would I make the CSS mimic usage of the bordercolor attribute in IE?

Define border for the table cells, too:

table.standings td { border: 1px solid #CB0017 }

There's no such attribute in HTML.

Yeah, IE supports a lot of stuff that isn't HTML.

Did you mean to set your border to 'o', or did you mean '0'?

Of course. Your stylesheet sets a border around the table not around
the cells.

TABLE.standings td, TABLE.standings th { border: 1px solid #CB0017; }

You may need to play with border-collapse as well. Check the CSS spec
for details.

Yeah, but they make up for by ignoring a lot of stuff that is in it. ;-)

In the IE4 DOM it is there, I know it isn't in the HTML spec.

Now, I can't get TD.OpenDate to work. see the page:

TABLE.standings td {} is more specific than  TD.OpenDate {} and he
nce
takes precedence. Make the second selector more specific: e.g.
TABLE.standings TD.OpenDate {} and it will be applied.
