borders on rows 1

[tnsbuff]

Is there a way to set the borders for a particular table in your style sheet so that they're the same? In other words, I'd like to have a 1px. border around the outside of the table as well as dividing the rows and cells. (Like what you get when you set the border with html instead of css.)What I get now by using the class within the table tag is just a border around the outside of the table, no cells.

I know I can do it by creating a class and entering the class within each cell, but it seems like there should be a better way.

Also, what does the border-collapse property do?

Thanks very much,

Try this:

td{
border:1px solid black;
}

Thanks, but won't that affect all of my layout tables? I just want it to affect one table.

.classname_of_table td{
border:1px solid black;
}

Thanks RISTMO!

That did the trick.
