I'll accept that as a browser inconsistency, as the border widths  
appear to be totally random as you zoom in and out. All <td>s are  
identically defined - with pixels - in regards to border-width, so I  
can't see how they'd fluctuate according to the zoom function. This  
page will be in a closed environment anyway, in which there are no  
Opera users.

The original problem I noticed was that some of the borders were  
totally invisible at 100%, which is why I zoomed in. On printing the  
page out normally, the really thin "borders" aren't there at all. If  
you can't see the "lost borders", are you looking on OS X? The  
problem is not apparent under Windows (XP).

Correct. Only specific pages in the system have borders on the table  
cells (such as this page), whereas all <th> have borders by default.

The browser should be able to deal with the horizontal padding and  
work out the width of each cell dynamically, as there are no set  
widths defined. Even with no padding on any cells, the border problem  
is still there.

Yes, that's correct. The borders are turned off for thead th.

I had checked the syntax in BBEdit but have now validated it with the  
W3C; I'd left a few <tr>s outside the <tbody> tags, which invalidated  
it. It's correct now, but the problem is still there...
