Auto-fill table borders? 1

[LewisReeder]

I currently have a fairly large table with many cells. I was wondering if there was a way to auto-fill the borders of each cell rather than using, <td style="border-right-style:dotted; border-right-width:thin; border-left-style:dotted;....(and so on)> for each cell. This is very time consuming, could someone please help me?

Thanks,
Lewis

use css to declare a style for that particular HTML element.

<style type="text/css">
td { 
    border:1px dotted #000;
}   
</style>

Use whatever border settings you wish.
If you like you can be more specific using classes or selectors.

I am using a stylesheet and I have created the class...

TD.BORDER
{
BORDER-STYLE: dotted;
BORDER-WIDTH: 1px;
BORDER-COLOR: lightgrey;
}

My problem is that for each cell I only what/need 1 dotted line. If I use this class each cell has its own border, causing a double line separation. Overlapping would also be a problem. Is there an easier way to make it more uniform, rather than creating a number of classes to specify left,right,top,bottom borders?

Set a style on the table with border-collapse: collapse;

Hmm sorry, that was a different problem than the original post then.

Not a different problem, just an additional one. It took both of our posts to do it right.
