• Hi, I would like to simply make it so, as i specify table properties through html, in the post, that the table takes on what i have in the html in the post, right now i insert
    <table width=”57%” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
    <tr>
    <td> </td>
    <td> </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    and i get a white border around the whole thing, and when i put content in the tables, there stretched out all over.. and crazy, could i edit something so what ever i specify, is what the tables do? without messing up any tables used in the theme itself?

  • You have to style the table in your css file.

    i will research it, but is there a way to make it so whatever the html table settings are it takes on? id rather use dream weaver to make the tables and then just paste it and use those settings .
    thank you

    If you put ‘class=”mystyle”‘ in your table tags, then

    table .mystyle {border: 0px; (and other entries)}

    in your css file, wouldn’t that do it?

    Might need to experiment with where in the css file it comes, to prevent it being overridden by other table styles.

    PS (1) Shouldn’t it be ‘0px’ in your HTML, if you want to keep it there?
    PS (2) In my experience, to work with IE, you need to keep ‘cellspacing=”0px”‘ in the table tag; no way in CSS to make IE behave properly in that regard.

    give the table an ID, eg <table id=”mytable”

    #mytable { border-collapse:collapse; }

    Can’t have more than one table with same ID; need to use ‘class’. Can have lots of tables with same ‘class’.

    so if i do this it will overwrite the css style settings?, cause i removed the css style settings for tables and there coming through what appears to be ok, i dont have a border on them it was jsut to keep things tidy..

    i have the 4 thumbnails, one flv and one larger thumbnail, as well as the text, in a table, everything works at least it appears to, does everything look okay or might somethign give me trouble with how i have it?

    Your site renders OK in Firefox 3.6.8.
    By giving your table(s) a ‘class’ or ‘id’, then referencing that class or id in a stylesheet rule, you can make your table(s) appear one way, whereas any other tables will appear as per the other (default) table stylesheet rules. Removing all table css settings is a bit drastic – might have other, unforeseen consequences!
