hi i have a table which has two tables in it.i gave different bgcolors for all the three tables but i dont want the bgcolor of the main table to be shown around the two tables.what should i do.
my code is
<html><table bgcolor=red>
<tr>
<td><table bgcolor=green>
<tr><td>table1</td></tr></table></td>
<td><table bgcolor=yellow><tr><td>table2</td></tr></table></td></tr>
</table>
</html>
i dont want red to be shown around them.
but bgcolor of all tables r different.thats my problem.

Why don't you remove bgcolor=&quot;red&quot; from the outer table? If you don't want it to show up, why do you need it?

I agree with rbobbitt, you don't need to have the background color around the originating table. If you remove that attribute, you will have a blank table that will by default show the page background. [sig][/sig]
