Hey there,

I've seen around the internet some dotted table borders (well, not so dotted more like - - - - - - - ) and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do those?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1pt dotted #FFFFFF">


You can replace the dotted with these too:
dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset

You can change the color and cellpadding.

I tried using that code on my site and it's not working. Here's what I got:


<TABLE WIDTH="65%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5" BORDER="0" style="border: 1pt dotted #FFFFFF">
<TR>
<TD><b>Khats Mocha</b><br>Dumbo Cocoa? Rex Self. Carries satin, blue and beige</TD>
<TD><img src="http://www.geocities.com/luckies4me/Cocoadumbo.jpg" alt="This fish sure is tasty! Yum!" height="150" width="170"</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b>Khats Cinnabunn</b><br> Dumbo Cinnamon Velveteen self, carries satin, blue and fawn </TD>
<TD>4</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>5</TD>
<TD>6</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>7</TD>
<TD>8</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>9</TD>
<TD>10</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>11</TD>
<TD>12</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

its because the table bg is white, and so is the border....try this instead (black border, you can change it)

<TABLE WIDTH="65%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5" style="border: 1pt

dotted #000000">
<TR>
<TD><b>Khats Mocha</b><br>Dumbo Cocoa? Rex Self. Carries satin, blue and beige</TD>
<TD><img src="http://www.geocities.com/luckies4me/Cocoadumbo.jpg" alt="This fish sure is

tasty! Yum!" height="150" width="170"></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><b>Khats Cinnabunn</b><br /> Dumbo Cinnamon Velveteen self, carries satin, blue and fawn

</TD>
<TD>4</TD>
</TR>

<TD>5</TD>
<TD>6</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>7</TD>
<TD>8</TD>
</TR>

<TD>9</TD>
<TD>10</TD>

It depends on your browser... I think it's a version of IE that doesn't support the dotted border, and it'll look dashed.

on my browser 5.0 i see all the table borders as solid, even if they are coded for dotted or dashed or whatever. Above 5.5 support those things i believe, just like it supports more stuff in that version or above.
