You might check the border-collapse attribute to control overlapping of borders.
Rainer ------------------------------------ [...] What I've got is a table with 20 rows and 10 columns. Every second row has a background of grey, so the rows alternate between grey and nothing (white). Thats all fine. The problem is that I want to have a border down each of the columns and around the whole table itself. I've tried the following: 1. specifying the border on the table-column, however on those cells where I specify background-color="silver", the background seems to overwrite the border. So the border goes behind the background of the cell. 2. specifying the border on each individual cell. So in this case I specified the border-right attribute of each table-cell, and the problem there is that the right-border of one cell doesnt touch the right-border of the cell below it. There seems to be a gap equal to the width of the border itself at the top and bottom of the right-border. So I get a table similar to what I want (alternating rows of grey and white with column borders), however the column borders arent continuous. If I dont have background colours though its totally fine! But this is an important requirement unfortunately :( [...] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
