Table Border Colors

In this section we'll look at setting the colors of table borders. First we'll look at setting the borders to a single color. In the next page we'll look at setting the light and dark shades of the border.

The color of the table borders as a whole is set with the BORDERCOLOR attribute of the <TABLE ...> tag. For example, this code sets the border to red:

this code produces this
<TABLE BORDER=10 BORDERCOLOR=RED>
<TR> <TD>carrots</TD> <TD>garlic</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>celery</TD>  <TD>onions</TD> </TR>
</TABLE>
carrots garlic
celery onions

Netscape and MSIE have very different ways of rendering BORDERCOLOR. Netscape maintains the 3-D appearance. MSIE renders all borders as the same color, making the border appear flat. MSIE also sets the color of the inner borders.

Netscape Netscape's rendering of BORDERCOLOR=RED
In the next page we'll look at how get a little more control over the border colors.
