2nd attempt usign Class 1

[rewdee]

I'm trying to implement a class as:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
.DataTable {font-size: 12px; font-family:Arial; border:solid 2px #000000; background-color:#ffffff; padding:0px;}
.DataTableHeader {background-color:#808080 ; border:solid 2px #FF0000; font-size: 12px; padding:15px; font-family:Courier; }            
</style>

I'm finding thought that I can't create the flat border that is so widely used (just copy and paste data from Excel to FrontPage). In fact this way, I'm not getting any borders within the table. However, If I add the Border element in the inline statement, I do at least get a border. (see

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/a_family/Test_With_Border.html

and

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/a_family/Test.html).

How do I create a class that has a flat border all around cells?

Many thanks,
Rewdee

That looks fine to me. I don't mean to insult you, but are you linking to it by using <table class=&quot;DataTable&quot;> ? That's the only thing that I see that might be wrong.
Good luck,

Hi Rewdee,

the reason is as follow:
The class .DataTable only makes the Outline-border of the TOTAL table.
The class .DataTableHeader only makes the border of the header cells.

For sofar you did a good job !!

So now you only have to ad a new class for the other cells and put this class in each <TD> like:

.DataTableCell {border:solid 1px #404040;}

<TD class=&quot;DataTableCell&quot;>

and DELETE the border=&quot;1&quot; in the <table> tag !!

If you want this &quot;style&quot; for all your tables in the entire site you kan define :
TD.DataTableCell {border:solid 1px #404040;}
and leave the class=&quot;DataTableCell&quot; in the <TD> tag

I don't understand what you mean with &quot;flat&quot; border but if you mean another type of border you can change &quot;solid&quot; in your styles to:

| dotted | dashed | solid | double | groove | ridge | inset | outset |

Hope this helps,
