Hi folks

not posted on here for a while - been way too busy!

Anyway, I'm trying to clean up the borders to my tables on this page and cant seem to do it in Dreamweaver - either the table borders (set at value 1) are too chunky or using light and dark shades (as is on the page at present) it doesnt look right. All I want is a fine line around each table - any ideas?

thanks

Neil

or by dimentions:
Code: 
=============outside table ===============
:background black
: 100x100 px
   --------inside table centered--------
         :background white
        : 98 x 98 px
   -------------------------------------
==========================================
&quot;nested tables&quot;
All the best!

Try: Outside table 100px by 100px with a 1px cell padding (or whatever size you want your border) and a colored bg. Place another table inside that table of the same dimensions and make the bg color white.

Hope this helps!!

Why dont you just use CSS to make your borders?

Code: 
<td style=&quot;border: solid 1px border-top-width: 1px;
	border-right-width: 1px;
	border-bottom-width: 1px;
	border-left-width: 1px;
	border-top-style: solid;
	border-right-style: solid;
	border-bottom-style: solid;
	border-left-style: solid;
	border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
	border-right-color: #CCCCCC;
	border-bottom-color: #CCCCCC;
	border-left-color: #CCCCCC;&quot;> dkfajdkasf </td>

And fix accordingly for any &quot;adjacent&quot; cells.
