broken borders in table cells

[Guest]

Anyone know of a fix when using FP2003 border for cells in a table that seem
to be broken at each cell line? Eg. picture a 6x6 table and around the
outside at the connection point of each border there is a gap in colour -
border is not continuous.

Just further to that explanation, since it's not clear...the connection point
I'm talking about is at each cell.

Is there an example on the internet we could look at?
Try setting cellpadding and cellspacing to 0
Right-click anywhere in the table, Table properties.

Sorry, didn't publish it because it looked so bad. Here's the link:

And yes, cellpadding and spacing are at 0.

Your problem is that you are depending on code like this -

<td bgcolor="#009900" width="3">
<img alt="" width="2" height="1" src="images/MsSpacer.gif"></td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign="middle" colspan="2" height="100%">
<!-- MSCellFormattingType="content" -->
&nbsp;</td>

to fill in the gaps between rows in that table, and it just wont. A much
more traditional approach would be to use a tiling background image in an
outer table. Let the image tile vertically left and right, and horizontally
top and bottom, and use 4 radius images in the 4 corner cells.

This is the code that FP generated. I'm afraid I don't understand what you
are saying. Originally, I had all background images in the outer cells, but
it didn't look the way I wanted and if the cell size adjusted even slightly,
it changed the look. I'd prefer not to have to go back to that if that is
what you are suggesting. I'm hoping there is something else I can do so that
I can use the border feature and have it be seamless all around.

Any other ideas?

I did think of that, but the option is greyed out. Is there possibly
something I can write in the HTML somewhere to do the same thing, or a way to
turn that option on. I looked in the HELP files, but it didn't say how to
make it accessible. And I did try to play around with the border settings,
turning them up, etc. to make it accessible and that didn't affect it either.
More options?

Hi, Jens Peter. I did want to try that, but the option is greyed out. When
I had checked the help files, there wasn't anything in there about activating
it. I tried playing around with the options in that section and it didn't
affect it. Is there some HTML I can type in to simulate that option? Or
another idea?
