Cell borders

[Bob Phillips]

Hi,

I want to have borders on all cells within a table. In HTML I caan put
<TABLE BORDER="1"> and every cell has a border.

How do I get the same effect by using stylesheets. The border attribute
seems to relate to the table as an entity, not the cells.

TIA

Bob

Here's a Style sheet sample you can play around with to get the effect you
want.

<STYLE>

TABLE
{
BORDER-RIGHT: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-TOP: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-LEFT: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1pt solid
}
TD
{
BORDER-RIGHT: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-TOP: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-LEFT: black 1pt solid;
BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1pt solid
}
</STYLE>

John,

I get it. We have to do it for every cell which I hoped to avoid, but
following on from my previos post we can do it as a sub-style as it were.

This has been helpful - thanks heaps to you and Manish.

Regards

Bob

in your <style> block:

table, td {
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
}
