Hello, I am new to this and need help with something pretty basic. When I am in dreamweaver and I set up borders it all looks fine. But, when I see in a preview or when it is applied the borders are no longer a flat solid line, but have become 2d and have shading and look like a bevel. Why? How can I get rid of this? Thanks so much for your help. I have been trying to figure this out for so long!

You'll need to use the CSS tool if you don't want to hand code it:
Now a DIV is a layout object, like box where you can place content it has different properties, I believe Dreamweaver calls them Layers.

My code doesn't look like that, vacunita. it looks like this:
<table width="622" height="522" border="6" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#9c370f">
I looked through the tutorials on the link johnwm gave me and it didn't offer how to make the borders I am looking for.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
