I was wondering if there's a way to fill in the borders of a table a certain color instead of just coloring the outline of the borders.

using css.

table.index {
width: "100%";
  height: "133";
  border: '1' '#000000';
  background-color: "#eef1f8";
}

I'm not sure what you mean, but I THINK you mean this.

add the following into the table tag...

cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="insert border width (in pixels) here" bordercolor="insert bordercolor here"

I'm with Gaffer Sports suggestion of;

<table class="index">

Along side the css code offerd. If you go Gaffer Sports route you will also be able to add a border type like solid and inset. There are several style options this will open your table to.

.index {
 background-color: #ffffff;
 border: 15px groove #dadee9;
}

w3schools.com is a great site to learn more about the style options css can offer your site.

Cheers,

CSS has to be the way that we all construct our sites. If we rely on the editor (Dreamweaver) to work our sites, we may aswell close the shop now.

You create a text link in the editor and declare it's colour as blue and it must be bold, but will the end user see it as that?

Agreed, CSS is kickass, but this user didn't sound like CSS was something they were familiar with. I just thought I'd solve the problem in another way so they would have some options, in case Gaffer's explination was a little over their head. And I would just like to say, Dreamweaver is what I use, but I use the code side, and I never design with the designer. Dreamweaver's handy, but I agree that frontpage and dreamweaver designers who don't know code are useless.

Also, you should know that I'm fairly new to all this anyway so don't hurt me too bad.

No disrespect Archie,

I only thought Gaffer was offering a new door of exploration for KoolBrat. I agree that it is not helpful to over load someone with information, however, this question seemed to be a perfect oportunity to introduce the idea of looking to css for style.

I've never used Dreamweaver or frontpage before so all I can say is notepad kicks @#$.

Oh my gosh--thanx so much! it worked!!

None taken Faze1, I didn't mean any either. And I agree, notepad PWNZ.

You've helped me out in some of my help questions anyway, so I look up to your opinions. I learned CSS because of the exact same type of statement in a different thread.

And KoolBrat, glad I could help How about a link to your site so we could see what your working on?
