Cell boarders

J

JT

I have tried to use "draw" and have been able to design the box style that I
like, unfortunately is doens't shift with the cell. Is there a way to have
a narrow, thin double-line boarder on a cell (and choose the location).

I can only find a "single line boarder for a cell side, top or bottom.

Suggestions - and no, table boarders are the same.

The "Draw" objects use VML graphics with absolute positioning, so if the
cell moves, the draw object will not move with it. Also, VML can only be
seen in Internet Explorer running on Windows, other browsers will see
nothing, or a very low quality .gif representation.
You could place a <div> in the cell and place borders around the div. The
<div> can be positioned within the cell. One way of doing this (possibly
not the best) is:

<td>
<div style="position: relative;">
<div id="celldivO" style="position: absolute;top: 5px; left:: 10px; width:
150px;border: red double 3px;">
content goes here
</div>
</div>
</td>

The inline syles shown here may be better placed in a stylesheet. Change
the attributes to suit your layout and colour scheme.
