Re: [O] org-table: missing vertical boundary when exported

[Shiyuan]

Rick, 

   Do you mean that  <table border="2"> and <table style="border:2px"> don't mean the same thing? Their names suggest they do the same things. That's a terrible naming. Changing the former to the latter does fix the problem though. Why is that? 

     

Using the #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA options as you suggest can also fix the problem. But could you explain why using the HTML_HEAD_EXTRA is more advisable than setting the <table style="border:2px"> directly as table attributes? What would you suggest if we want some tables have orders and others don't have borders in the same html webpage? 

Thank you.

The "border" attribute has nothing to do with it. It's the "frame" attribute
which sets the default top and bottom borders.

No. The CSS should be in the header, not an attribute of the tag. Have you
tried setting the 'HTML_HEAD_EXTRA' option?  somehting like:
#+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: <style type="text/css">
#+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: table {border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black;}
#+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: </style>
