Border Trouble - Firefox

Question

I change the borders of my site to a deep red from the
default color, and in the design it changes correctly, but in the
preview, and on the actual site, it remains the default color when
using Firefox. IE displays it fine.
Is there any reason for this anyone knows of?

The drinks are on Gary - he nailed it :-)
You are using the following to give a border to the table.
bordercolor="#990000
which doesn't show up in standard compliant browsers.
You need to set the border colors via css.
You need to give the table an ID and then define the border
color that way.
eg: CSS:
#maintable {border: 1px solid #990000}
and in your code, give the table the ID of maintable.
Couple of ways to do this here:

Also, you shouldn't be using a height attribute, it won't
work when you are
using a full and valid doctype.
