bordercolor attribute validation, help! Options

[nackchoon]

While validating my pages that are in XHTML, it turns out that the attribute "bordercolor" for "table" is unacceptable. It claims that I could do it by using CSS, but I just can't! I tried using border-color in CSS, but when I applied it to the table, I only got one border around the whole entire table, instead of each cells.

Any help...? ^-^

Thank you in advance

Errr.... Can't you just apply the border property to the <td> tag?

CODE

td{border: 1px solid #000000}

edit// That is what you meant by cell, isn't it?

Well actually, not really..
what happened was that when I put in the code:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><table width="100%" border="1" bordercolor="#B1B1B1"><br /><tr><br /><td>asdfasdf</td><br /><td>asdfasdf</td><br /></tr><br /></table><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

The bordercolor wouldn't work...
therefore, I tried to put it in CSS.
The result was a box around the whole entire table, instead of changing the color of all the borders in the table.

bordercolor is not a valid attribute. Ue the "border" property of CSS. You have to screw around with it a bit and set the borders for TABLE, TD, TR, and other table-related tags.

If your table is for page layout, though, you should use CSS to lay it out. Tables are only for the display of tabular data.

You just used the boder-color property by itself? Bingo. You need to use border-style to set the style first.
