Hi there! Basically I would like my table which contains cells to have a border (enclosing the whole thing), but when i try border="2" in the <table> tag it applies it to all the cells as well as the table. I would like to have th border around JUST the table - is it porrible and how? Thanks a lot in advance,

Put your main table in another table with only one cell. i.e.:
Code:
<TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">
  <TR>
    <TD>

        <TABLE>
          Your Main Table Goes HERE
        </TABLE>

    </TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

Thanks a lot for your help. I dont think this method will work though, as I already have TABLE > CELL > MAIN TABLE WITH OTHER CELLS as i needed to do this to make the main table in the center of page. Is there another method? Thanks agin for your help,

Gavin

This will work if you put your ENTIRE (current) table into the code I posted above in place of the following lines:
Code:
        <TABLE>
          Your Main Table Goes HERE
        </TABLE>
Help me understand what want. Can you show me what you are meaning/wanting? Can you post a link to your site and show/describe which section you want to add the border to?
