Try this <table> line instead of the one you have there.

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. <table style="width:952px; border:#FC0 1px solid; text-align:center;">

joebert is correct with his suggestion of combining the three properties into one.

Just for reference though, you just need to add a hyphen to your code mrcountry if you wanted to keep it the way it is just now.

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. border-color: #FC0;

I really appreciate the help, but now that I have that one fixed I get another error. I am very new to this and I really appreciate the help. I bought Dreamweaver because I was told it was wonderful. It's not bad except for the errors. Is there something that i'm doing wrong or is this in the program that it does not set things up right. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also how hard is it to learn CSS and where can I learn it.

Thanks again for the help.

Dreamweaver uses the old convention, rather than defaulting to CSS for everything.

CSS is easy to learn, just a bunch of tags. Google is your friend.

As you fix the errors, you will learn how to do it properly, so keep using the validator, and keep fixing the errors. The errors show up only once, so even though you "fix" it, it appears to come back again. That's fine, keep turning old Dreamweaver attributes into CSS attributes and you will learn.

<table width="177" border="0" bordercolor="#FFCC00" bgcolor="003300">

Becomes

<table style="width:177px; border:0px; background-color:#030;">

Or better yet:

<table class="style1">

<style>
.style1 {
width:177px;
border:0px;
background-color:#030;
}
</style>

This works. But when I try similarly
<th style="border-color: #FFFFFF;"> no cell's border is displayed by IE. How do I specify border color of the cell of this table?
Thanks.

No snuggles. Joebert had it right. No need to put a hyphen anyway... either that, or I misunderstood the post...

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1.  
2. <table style="width:952px; border:#FC0 1px solid; text-align:center;">

The stuff that's in blue is one attribute...

border:#FC0 1px solid;

It is saying that the border is 1px wide, solid line and it's the color #FC0. All under one attribute.
(I know the post is old... for the record).
