1px border in table cells

[jeff@thelimit.com]

Doing this:

td{border: 1px solid black}

gives me 2px borders on adjacent cells. How do I get the same size
border on inside cell walls as outside, much as <table border="1"
cellspacing="0" > would give.

A courtesy copy to my email would be appreciated (I'm on Google News
at the moment).

Look at the border-collapse property in CSS.

No excuse for not having a newsgroup server.

border-collapse: collapse

is already in the style. Does not work in this case for IE5/6.

I'm on a computer of someone who never uses Usenet with an ISP that
does not support usenet.

I do have an account that I will hook up later... as I can see the
posting style is atrocious.

Assign borders left, top & bottom but not right. That way the left border of
the adjacent cell will take care of the previous right border...

Post an URL. border-collapse does work in IE/Win.

I've never heard about border-collapse until today so, in order to have a
regular border around every cell, I define the border on every cell.

<table class="full_bor der" border="O" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td class="right+bo ttom">Cell A1</td>
<td class="right+bo ttom">Cell B1</td>
<td class="bottom_o nly">Cell C1</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="right_on ly">Cell A2</td>
<td class="right_on ly">Cell B2</td>
<td>Cell C2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Every cell have the style "right+bott om", except on the right where it
should be "bottom_onl y". And the last row must have no bottom border, so
it's "right_only " except for the last cell.

All missing borders are provided by the table border which also must be
defined as a style.

(To choose very short style names isn't a bad idea here.)

I'd say that it's obvious you'll get a better control if you define the
border of every cell rather than globally.

Just my 2 hundredth of your currency,

Set border-collapse on both the table and td elements.
You may also need to set table border-width to 0, leaving visible borders
on just th and td elements.
