for one thing that isn't correct CSS.

try: border: solid blue 5px

for another, do you want a border around the table or the cells?:

table.propertiesfortables td{border: solid blue 5px;}

Also look up border-collapse: collapse

Styling tables with CSS is a different animal than you think.

I'm sure there must be a tutorial around somewhere on this.

Good html procedure is to use quotes
<table class="propertiesfortables"
