Looking at your style sheet, there is a syntax error: there is no
semicolon following the width declaration for the table element:
table {
margin-left: -5px;
width: 500px
border: 2px #808080 solid;
}
The border that is actually being applied appears to come from the style
declaration for the td element. Why it actually gets clipped, I'm not sure
off-hand. But the first rule of debugging is to fix known errors and see
what you're left with. Also, even though it is not required that you close
the last declaration for a given selector with a semicolon, I always do. It
helps to avoid errors like this when you attempt to make adjustments down
the road.
