Why don't the Table borders disappear? "Ken Soenen" <ksoenen[ at ]trip.net> 26.03.2006 01:14:21 I'm new at this web page building so I'm sure I have a lack of understanding here somewhere. Here's my problem. When I look at someone else's web page I can see how they set up what appears to be a table to me, to organize their images and buttons and whatever. Now when you bring this html file up with Internet Explorer, the Table borders disappear (which is what you want). But now when I start from scratch on a web page, and use a table to organize, the table borders DON'T disappear when I bring the page up in Explorer. Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here? thanks, mike

HOWEVER, in the event that you have used Word to create web pages, nobody has enough time or patience on their hands to sift through all the bloated crap that Word adds to html. 1) Tables really shouldn't be uses today for layout design of web pages. That is what CSS does and I'm not referring to Word Styles. 2) If your table borders are displaying one option is that you have set the colors or spaces so that borders display by default. 3) Another option is that you do not have a table (s) closed or possibly another element not closed which is interfering with your table closing. Number two is most likely scenario and you just don't undertsand the difference between borders and displayed borders.

If you select the table you can use either View=>Toolbars=>Tables and Borders or Format=>Borders and Shading to turn off the table viewable borders. To have a 'dotted line' visible to help you working that doesn't print you can use the Show/Hide Gridlines setting in the Table menu or turn on 'Text Boundaries' in Tools=>Options=>View. ========== <<"Ken Soenen" <ksoenen[ at ]trip.net> wrote in message news:122bqn8taeqlk69[ at ]corp.supernews.com...
