Question
Hi,

The following style is using the curly brace, is there different if I don't use the curly brace like style="{border:none}" ?
------------------
<td width="10%" style="border:none">welcome</td>
-------------------

Thanks,
lzzzz

Answer
I've never seen the curly notation for inline styling.  This is correct:

style="border:none"

However, you almost never want to use inline styling.  Better to use a class or a rule.  Say you want to remove the borders all <td>s inside of a table with an id of "table2".  You could write:

table#table2 td {
  border: none;
}

This is useful because you can touch that table's <td>s without touching any other <td>s on the page.  Also, the markup becomes simpler:

<td style="border:none">...</td>

becomes:

<td>...</td>
