If you take a peek at my current site, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eyesontennis.com">http://www.eyesontennis.com</a><!-- m -->, you'll notice that the borders are rather thick, even though border=1 cellpadding=0 and cellspacing=0 are set.<br />
<br />
If you take a look at the borders on this forum, they are half the thickness. How do I make my borders this thin?<!--content-->You have this in your code;<br />
table align="center" width="750" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"<br />
<br />
I think that by defining a border color, it may be the problem.<br />
<br />
IMHO I think the heavy borders give the layout a dimensional effect so it does not look so flat. :) <br />
<br />
The only thing I would recommend is to move the text away from border edges.<!--content-->i think that be defualt, the borders for tables/table cells is the outset style, so the boder will have 4 colors in it and will be thicker.<br />
try adding<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"><br />
td {<br />
border: 1px solid #000000;<br />
}<br />
</style><br />
<br />
to the head sectrion of your html and see if it helps.<!--content-->Didn't work.<br />
<br />
Would it work, if the tables have no border, but there is anotehr table underneath just slightly thicker with bg colour set to the colour you want your borders?<!--content-->
