Printable View
I'm trying to do something like this:
Where the red |s are borders. To my knowledge HTML tables only support a border around every cell or none at all; how can I get it to only be on certain cells on certain sides like above?Code:
+-------------------------+
| Date | stuff |
| Date | more stuff |
| Date | other stuff |
+-------------------------+
Use CSS:Code:<html>
<head>
<title>New HTML Document</title>
<style>
.redside {border-left:2px solid red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Date</td><td class="redside">stuff</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Date</td><td class="redside">more stuff</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Date</td><td class="redside">other stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If u dont want to use CSS then u can simply set the border properties within the <td> tags

<td width="10%" border-left: 1 solid #000000">
U can set border left, top etc. The only thing to watch out for is that u need to have "something" in a cell even   or the borders may not render in some browsers.
That's still CSS, just using inline styles instead of in the <style> tag. You can do this:but I think it's easier using the <style> tag because if you want to change the style, you don't have to go back and change every single <td>, you just change the style rule.Code:<td style="border-left:2px solid red;">stuff</td>
Thanks guys, it works bootifully. :)
I know you said resolved in the title but I just wanted to let you know that NS doesn't do borders in cells. you have to make a table inside a table to get it to work with NS.
FYI
it should work with CSS in NS6 though.. i think
Figures, NS never does anything right with tables. :( But as you can see where I used it (http://liquid2k.com/filburt1/vbtips) it's not critical that it works, it's just a nice touch. :)
i just checked it out in NS6 and your site looks the same as IE.
sorry I meant NS4.x the other black meat :D
hahaha, thats another story ;)
the borders aren't the same colors in NS4.77 and NS6.1. as they are in IE, but all in all they look pretty close to the same. NS4.77 doesn't have the black line going down the left hand side, but it looks ok.
yeah, actually not bad for NS4x
