Tables / CSS / XHTML

[babel]

I know what I want to do........
was simple with html
just bordercolor="#000000"
Would give a border around the whole table and each individual cell

xhtml no border color.......

so I on my css page i did this

#tableborder {
border-style: double;
border-color: #B6864D;
border-width: medium;
font-size: 95%;
}

and give the id="tableborder"

only lines around the whole table show when I put the id in the
<table summary=&quot;Administration&quot; id=&quot;tableborder&quot;>

very good ...

the table only show up around the entire table..no I want cells included too please....

so just to be goofey i put it in each
<td id=&quot;tableborder&quot;>

And it does work to the way how I want it to look...

PROBLEM

Doesn't validate...........

Says I already did it in the <table> I know that but if i don't do it in the <td> cells i have no border...need border in cells

Help Please.

Stumbling my way through...........

Hi again babel! Now you found a REAL forum!

Your question: Use class instead of id!

when you use the class, i'd set just the class attribute of the table itself.. i.e.
<table class=&quot;tbl&quot;>

and in your css do something like the following

table.tbl td {
border-style: double;
border-color: #B6864D;
border-width: medium;
font-size: 95%;
}

to apply a border to all of the cells within the table with class &quot;tbl&quot;

and that should validate mike griffith
