Create one table with one row, name that .maintable - you can have your border code, width and background colour declared in that. Then have another table named .insidetable or something and do your padding, spacing, border:0px; in that one and then away you go as usual.... Hope that is of help _____________________________ I Lost My Stuff - If you lost it, someone found it! (in reply to dzirkelb1)

A few tutorials that might help you out http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/tutorials.cfm/61/CSS/ http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/tutorials.cfm/61/CSS/ http://css.nu/articles/table-in-css.html http://academ.hvcc.edu/~kantopet/xhtml/index.php?page=css+table+styling&parent=xhtml+tables I hope that some of these are helpful to you! Good luck, and if you have any problems and don't understand something just post in here. I"m not familar with tables to much, haven't had to really build any of them, so this is far from a strong point with me. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.
