[css-d] why doesn't this work in gecko browsers

[Bruce Gilbert]

I am trying to do a table border in CSS and my border shows up in IE
(PC), but not Gecko.

table.borders{/*used when creating a table w/ borders*/
border:1px solid #d3d3d3;
border-collapse:collapse;
padding:10px;
}

table td.borders {/*used when creating a td with borders*/
        padding: .25em;
        border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
        border-collapse:collapse;
        }

it's a nested table, so maybe that's the issue?

eg:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="borders">
<tr>
<td class="borders"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

any ideas?

TIA
