can't make borders show up in browser preview

Hi, Newbie Person here, I seem to be missing something very basic as I design my very first Web site with Express on a MacBook. I can’t make borders show up on graphics on my browser preview (Safari, Firefox). The borders show up in preview just fine, beautiful in fact, but in browser preview, no dice.

HI jake
Is there any chance we can see the example on line?
as its a little difficult to see what it may be.

Cheers Max

I haven’t uploaded yet but will let you know when I do so. I will add some new data - sometimes the borders are visible in the browser preview but sometimes they’re not.

I figured it out. It’s so obvious, I’m embarrassed. I missed it 'cause I was rushing to meet a deadline (always a mistake). Anyway, for the sake of my fellow going-too-fast people, I simply mistook a rectangle created by the Graphic Tool for a real set of borders. I did this because I had SOME real borders already on the site and SOME rectangles created by the graphic tool. As Homer Simpson would say…(fill in the blank).

Don’t forget that Apple-Option-Shift-o (that’s an ‘o’ for ‘orange’ on
the end) turns off outlines of boxes.

This shortcut toggles the display of object outlines in the layout,
NOT the actual state of borders as they’ll be produced in your final
web pages. Just in case anyone gets confused.

Yes, but the original poster was confused because he thought he’d made
a box with borders (in layout view) and when he previewed it, they
weren’t there. So a quick Apple-Option-Shift-O would have cleared up
his confusion?
