Inline style being ignored

I have a fairly simple cell in a table with an inline style:

<td style="text-align: right;"> Current Status: </td>

And the text-align-right is being ignored, both in Firefox and Opera. I used Firefox's "firebug", and it shows me <td style=""> for this.

Any idea what could be going on? I thought that an inline style specified this way took highest priority over any linked style sheet or inherited style.

Thanks as always.

Solution

Usually Firebug does that when there is an error with the style declaration.
