bordered layout cell

Josh42 · Jul 14, 2004

Is there any way to create a border to a layout cell. I tried using CSS to do this but it repeated the border throughout the cell. Thanks!

How did you try it in css?

whatever.css

Code:

.layoutcell {
  border-top: 1;
  border-bottom: 1;
  border-right: 1;
  border-left: 1;
}

whatever.htm

Code:

<table>
<tr>
<td class="layoutcell">stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

Cheers!

The CSS you gave me doesn't do anything visible. I tried doing this:

.mystyle {
  border-top: 1;
  border-bottom: 1;
  border-right: 1;
  border-left: 1;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

However, the border is repeated throughout the cell like lined paper. No good. I just want it to appear around the border. How is this done?

<style>
.cellborder {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}</style>
<body>
<table width="109" height="77" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<td class="cellborder">here I am</td>
