Hi,
I'm trying to use a table and format it with CSS, but I cant get it to
render with a border. I know this is really easy, but I can't see what I
have wrong and when I search for tables and CSS I just get lots of stuff
about using tables for layout etc.
What I have is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm11/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head><title>crap</title>
<style type="text/css">
table {border: 2px;
font-size: 16pt;
color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<tdtest test</td>
<tdtest2 test2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tdcrap crap </td>
<tdtest3 test3</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Why do I not get a 2pixel border? Or any border?
Thanks for your help

There's nothing special about tables when it comes to borders in CSS.
What I have is:
table {border: 2px;
So, that would be:
border-width: 2px;
border-style: none;
then?
(and don't forget the border-color).
font-size: 16pt;

You must specify the type of border, e.g.:
table {
border: 2px solid;
}
And perhaps the color, as well:
table {
border: 2px solid black;
}

Actually there's quite a lot special, like border-collapse. But for the
border around a table itself, there's nothing different from the general
border concept in CSS.
What puzzles people who move from presentational HTML to using CSS is that
when you set a border for a table, you only set a border for the table
element as a whole. That's really the "nothing special" thing in CSS terms,
but it differs essentially from the effect of, say, <table border="2">.

Hi Michael,
There is a site that gives about 80 samples of CSS table design. Some
are more than a little over the top but I have always found it useful
to at least see how they do it: http://icant.co.uk/csstablegallery/index.php
All the best,
Andrew

Hmmmm.....
Now I have:
table {position: absolute;
top: 150px;
left: 150px;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: none;
font-size: 16pt;
}
I know the page is using the stylesheet because if I change the font-size it
changes, but I still have no border........
Thanks for your help

It helps to consult the CSS specs for border-style:
none
No border. This value forces the computed value of ¹border-width¹
to be ¹0¹.
hidden
Same as ¹none¹, except in terms of border conflict resolution [p.
264] for table elements [p. 245] .
dotted
The border is a series of dots.
dashed
The border is a series of short line segments.
solid
The border is a single line segment. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2, for future reference!

So now you're setting it to none explicitly, instead of having none because
its the default. None is, however, still none.
>>(and don't forget the border-color).
You're still forgetting the border colour.

Point units are still considered harmfil, avoid them.
