Hi all,

Basically ive designed a site within Dreamweaver, with borders 10 (which the customer wanted) and when ive uploaded it .. Tbh it looks pants!

I want it to look like ...

And not like.. within firefox / IE etc

addition it seems that it also hates the border color #0099FF

Anyone?

<body>
<div align="center">
<table width="900" border="10" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#0099FF" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tr>

border="10" to "0"

Code:

<table style="border: 10px solid #0099FF; background-color: #FFFFCC;" width="900" align="center">
<tr><td>hello</td></tr>
</table>

with the code you have listed?

remove the inline style i posted so it looks like this again

Code:

<table align="center">
<tr><td>hello</td></tr>
</table>

and just add this to the style information at the top of the page....

Code:

table {
        border: 10px solid #0099FF; 
        background-color: #FFFFCC; 
        width: 900px;
}

Thanks,

I've noticed that as default the way it was , Firefox still does the basic 3D borders

<table width="900" border="10" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#0099FF" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">

With the new code , the inside border is way too thick and makes the site look poor , atm it looks fine in IE but not FF

i'm not suprised. 10px is huge, but you asked for it. i didn't want to question what you wanted...

change it to 1 or 2.

don't know what you mean? i 've created a test page using this code....

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table {
        border: 2px solid #0099FF; 
        background-color: #FFFFCC; 
        width: 900px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>hello</td>
</table>
</body>
</html>

and it looks identical in ff2 and ie7? :confused:

without using the border CSS , and using the default code which DW gives you..

<table width="900" border="10" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#0099FF" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">

works fine in IE / but comes up with the 3D border in firefox.

marc2003 · 31 May 2007 at 22:03

you want to use DW and not css?

Thats how i've done the site at the moment , but i've noticed by default in firefox it does the 3D borders , where IE is fine and has a solid border as i wanted it.

if i had hair, i'd be pulling it out now.

you've got css that works in both browsers. what's the problem?

Tiredness can kill, please take a break.

(in this case, it has killed my coding in the past, and I'm sure it'll do it again.)
