How to make a table draw lines between cells

#1

I think this is a simple question but I can't find the answer.

I have in the head:
<style type="text/css">
table.c7 {font-family: Verdana}

and in the body:
<table class="c7">

The cell are not outlined.
How can I force the lines between the cells to be drawn?

Thanks for any help

table.c7 td {border:1px solid black}
table.c7 th {border:1px solid black}

Works well but I can't figure the syntax.

Does it say, for example: Any table that references class c7 apply
{border:1px solid black} to the td's?

Thanks

Something like that yes.

More accurately it says: Apply the style {border:1px solid black} to any td
that is a descendant of a table element that has a class name of c7.
