Hi,
    I learned a bit a about html/css and took another look the issue. It
turns out that org-mode uses the border attribute which is not respected by
my browser(Google Chrome version 36.0.1985.125 on Mac 10.9.4) .

Org mode generated this line in the html for table but the border is not
displayed,
<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups"
frame="hsides">

If we use css style to specify the border,  the table border would show up:
<table style="border:2px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups"
frame="hsides">

Don't know why it is that. But is there any org keywords/properties I can
specify so that  Org would not use the border  attribute but use the style
attribute instead when exporting to html? Thanks.
