Making borders on tables in MX

2760 · Mar 19, 2003

Hi all,

In DW MX, when you insert a border onto a table with a value of '1', the border seems to be a fairly thick one. Is there a way that;
a)i can make a thinner border?
b)only make the border appear in certain places of the table - i.e. on the top/bottom only or left and right sides only etc.

Can anybody assist?

Thanks in Advance.

I use a graphic to put borders in tables where I only want them in certain areas.
What I do is create a graphic 1px * 1px in the colour of my border then just put it into a cell and define its height + width.

How about "nesting" two tables? The first one is filled with blue..... wait.... heres a quicky. This will give you an example.....

<html>
<head>
<title>Thin Border</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table width="241" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" height="50" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="280" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="54">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I find the best way of dealing with this is to define a CSS style, then apply the style (using a class) the the relevant table cell.

At the top of your document, in the <head> section add this:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

and define the cell border with this code:

<table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td class="cellbrdrleft">cell with a left border</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

et voila!

Hope it helps,

didnt't you hear the move to go paperless has also somehow spilled over to designing webpages. Borderless! [laser]
