Borders on Tables

P

Hi There,

I have a number of tables on my website. The problem is that the tables
seem to have an imaginary width around the edges. E.G. there are no
visible lines around the tables, but when I have 2 tables together the
contents of the 2 tables cannot be touching.

Is there a table edge width attribute?

I am using ASP .NET 2.0.

Thanks,

Peter.

Have you applied any border-collapse or border-spacing styles to your
tables?

I don't know, I am using visual web developer 2005, so that might have
done it automatically, or I might have done it by accident.

How can I check.

Thanks.

Have a look? Also check any associated stylesheets.

Interesting. Very interesting...

By learning what you're doing in the first place. You are relying on a
crutch whose output you seem to know nothing about. WYSIWYG html editors,
any of them, are notoriously inept at producing valid markup, and even if
they happen to get something "right", it may not be quite what you want.

This is why "idiot-proof" tools are bad. When they don't do just what
you want straightaway, you're left staring at them with no real
understanding of where to go next.

To help you further we need to know the URL so that we can see it. Then
it's probably just a matter of some simple CSS changes.
