>Hi,
I just switched from FP to DW and am very very happy !
So whilst I'm mastering Dreamweaver (gonna be a while yet :-) - I
thought that I'd try and find out how to add borders for browers like
Firefox which don't support them.
Not sure if I've explained the above well but my borders display in IE
but not in Firefox.
I just played around for a half hour in DW using tables within tables
but it seemed overly complex (I could make a template) but still
couldn't get the result that I want.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Mike
I didn't express myself precisely enough in my original post and
should have said 'colored borders' and not just borders. My apologies.
I will try to be more precise in future postings.

thanks for the tip about giving a link. This was my first post to the
group and I tried to walk in quietly :-) But perhaps not very
intelligently :-(

My original question is perhaps simply academic now since CSS solved
my problem. I don't think that Opera would display the tables as seen
in either IE or Firefox but that is regretfully only one of it's
shortcomings. And I am not trying to start a browser war here :-)
(yes, the index page is me and I made the website about 6 years ago
but perhaps sadly have not maintained it)

please see the above regarding 'color borders'. As for 'hand coding I
wouldn't venture to get into the pros and cons as the issue has been
thrashed to death in so many places elsewhere. Of course it's
wonderful to know how to hand code but to build a whole complex site
from scratch using it ? I am amazed (particularly after having used FP
for years and seeing how terrible and bloated it's code is) at how
neat and concise DWs pages are. See the above link. The page took a
couple of minutes and I only started learning the program a few days
ago.
I wouldn't venture to argue a case either as to whether I should have
used html or xhtml either - or which versions :-)
Zilbandy - thanks. There are obviously some incredibly successful
pages on the web that rely heavily on tables.
thanks to you all - Mike
