Hi All,

I am trying to make my table do the attached, where it has a border around the entire table but has a 2px space edge... Like the attched image, any ideas?

Can you also add an image to a <tr> or <td> I want the cells to have diagonal lines and the only way I see that happening is adding a bg image... Anyone know about this?

Try the following code

{
border:2px solid blue;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table width="960" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="20" class="outer">
<tr>
<td width="100&#37;" valign="middle" align="center">

<table border="1" width="940" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

That worked a treat thanks! Do you happen to know how I could make the top row and the last row of table bigger than the middle rows? I know I could just do this with px but am trying to start using em's...

You can even specify the height of the first and last row of the table in such a way that it fits your requirements.

But can I do it using ems? Or do I need to give it a px value?
