table borders 1

[blues77]

I need a way of diplaying just the outer border of a table and not the borders of each individual cell in the table. I was trying the frame attribute but so far i haven't had any success. I'm trying to specify the table definition in a CSS. here is what i have so far.


table {
width=701;
border=2;
frame=border;
rules=none;
cellspacing="4";
cellpadding="2"
}

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

First, I'd recommend you use this page as your Bible for CSS:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp

This will ensure that you have fully compliant CSS code.

Here is my interpretation of what you want (with CSS corrections).

table { width: 701px; border-width: 2px; border-style: outset; padding: 2px; }
th { border: 0; padding: 2px; }
td { border: 0; padding: 2px; }

Try that out.

I always just use a nested table for this.  I give the outer table a 1px cellpadding and a bgcolor.  The inner table is where I build my content in.

<table width=&quot;602&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<td bgcolor=&quot;000000&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;>

<table width=&quot;600&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<td bgcolor=&quot;ffffff&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;>
