Is it possible to make a grid without using a backgroundimage?

[goaganesha]

I want to make an agenda. The different days should be separated by thin lines, thereby creating some kind of a grid.
Is it possible to make the cells, which I draw in layout view, vissible in a browser 'cause the height of the squares should depend on the lenght of that day's topic.
Thanx for your help.

Using tables, can make a grid.
By giving table borders a width of 1 can make a nice ugly table.
By getting the thin table borders extension from MM homepage you can make thin borders(two different extensions that do it.) the one ffrom eddie traversa is best.

By using css can decide to give only certain parts of the table borders, but it does not work in ns4.7, though it works in ns6.1(which no-one I know uses as it is slow and bluky)and every post3 version of ie.

Have you seen a site that does what you want? If so, I'd view source and see how they did it.

The website where I saw it is:

I've saved it and opened it in Dreamweaver but I can't figure out how they did it. If I draw some more cells in their tables , the new cells are also visible.
Thanx for your efforts!

Its the table and TD properties that make the lin apear thin Live long and make your kids suffer..

Nice one.

The borders are not really thin, its just that the designor has chosen colours for the page background and the table border that are very similar, thus making the borders discrete.

Make a table
Select the table
Change the table borders to 1
Change the table border colour to something very similar to your background.

Even more discrete if you use the eddie traversa extension
