GridLines not showing in a GridView with CSS reset?

Question

I have a page which includes a css reset. On that page, I have a gridview with the GridLines="Both" property set to true, but the grid lines are not appearing. If I remove the css reset, the gridlines show up. This is only happening in IE. I want the reset and I want the gridlines to appear. Does anyone know the solution to this?

Answer 1

Make sure to call the stylesheet or style defining the gridlines appearing after you've called the reset stylesheet.

Failing that makes sure that there isn't a more-specific selector defined in the reset stylesheet, that's overriding the element styles for which you want gridlines to appear. There's also nothing stopping you defining the gridlines in the reset-stylesheet, just as a check to see where the overriding style's being defined.

But, as noted in Jab's comment to your question, using Firebug would be the fastest way to see where the styles are coming from. If you're using IE then, assuming you're on IE8, you can use Firebug too, albeit they're calling it Developer Tools.
