Table border

[calista]

Just a quick question. Is there a way to put a border around an entire table without bordering each cell? I just want the entire table outlined. Thanks!

Either use style sheets to set the border-left, border-right,border-top,and border-bottom props or enclose in another table with a border

i.e.

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td><your table goes here></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks! That worked! Just for everyone's FYI, I checked the documentation, (When all else fails, read the directions, right?) and it mentions a FRAME attribute you can use in conjuntion with the BORDER attribute. You would code FRAME=&quot;BOX&quot; in the main TABLE tag to get what I was asking for. However, only EXPLORER supports this attribute. I tried it, and it didn't work. (I have IE 5.0) I wouldn't want to do anything only one browser supported, anyway.

I really do need to look into style sheets.

Thanks again!

Calista,

Youcan also position a table w/ border size &quot;0&quot; inside of a table with border size 1. as follows. This will give you the effect you are looking for. I hope this helps.

<div align=&quot;left&quot;>
<table border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; bordercolor=&quot;#FF0000&quot;>
<tr>
<td>
<div align=&quot;left&quot;>
<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr>
<td>Your data here</td>
<td>your data here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>your data here</td>
<td>your data here</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
