borders around tables question

I am trying to add a border to a table which has 2 table rows one containing a graphic and the second row containing a nested table. Whenever i specify border=1 it puts a border around the main table and also around the first row. I only want the border around the outside of the main table. can anyone tell me why this happening and what i can do to rectify it.
many thanks

Instead of using the border attribue, use CSS.

In the head of your document add

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
table
{
           border: solid 1px #000000;
}
</style>

or you can use and inline style declaration

style="border: solid 1px #000000"

Hi there, thank you so much for your reply. I am still experiencing my original problem even when using what you told me. Could this be a dreamweaver issue? can i show you what I mean by directing you to the page?
www.meemoh.net/page1 has the border
www.meemoh.net/page2 has no border attribute

this is the code for the graphic..
<td width="922" height="148"><div align="center"><img src="images/homeBanner.gif" width="922" height="148" border="0"></div></td>

Pages not found!

Linda, I think he meant:
- www.meemoh.net/page1.htm
- www.meemoh.net/page2.htm

Missing the .htm

oops, sorry bout that. i did forget the .htm bit

use css style sheet go to some site on internet
