[RESOLVED] table border

verN

hi, i have a problem with the way my webpage is rentered. I have a page which uses includes to get the header for the top which is a banner. I also use another include to produce the footer bottom of the page. My problem is that the web page gets rendered perfectly when usng firefox but in internet explorer rather then the table coming in the middle it appears in the left. I know where the problem lies. When i view the individual files called header.php and footer.php the table appears fine but when i add a border around the table it doesn't get rendered properly in the another file.

Since I wish to use an outline around the page the border appears perfectly in firefox but not in explorer. Howver, when i delete the css code for the border the page gets rendered perfectly in both browsers. I wish to inlcude the border around the page. Here is the css code

.maintable {
	margin: 0px auto;
	width: 750px;
	border-color: #990099;
	border-width: 1px 1px 1px;
	border-style: solid;	
}

parts of the header.php code

<div class="maintable">
<table width="750" align="center">
<tr bgcolor="#996699"><td>

  <div class="banner">  
  <table width="524" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
  <td><img src="../includes/logo1.jpg" width="508" height="100"></td>
  <td><a href="http://www.test.uk"><img src="../includes/logo2.jpg" width="237" height="100" border="0"></a></td>
  </tr>
  </divl></table>
  </td>
  </tr>

<tr><td align=center><div class="printbanner"><img src="../includes/logo3.gif" width="118" height="70" /></div></td>
</tr>
</div>
</table>

parts of the footer.php code

<body>
<table width="750" align="center">
  <tr bgcolor="#996699">
    <th height="19" bordercolor="#FF00FF"><span class="style1">&copy; 2007</span> <a href="mailto:test@test.com">name</a></th>
  </tr>
</table>     

</body>

thanks in advance

If you want a 1px border all around try to change your css to:

border-width: 1px;

3 border declarations only is not valid css

i have solvecd this by using left-margin instead of margin it works

Um, yes it is; they're read as referring to the top, left&right, and bottom, respectively (basically the second value is used for the missing fourth). 'Course, since they're all the same anyway you might as well just specify the one width to be applied to all.
