Hey everyone, Im having trouble with table borders. When I view my page in Dreamweaver it seems ok but then when I publish it , it looks like this:

but should have the borders. also its even different when I open it from my c:// drive, it looks like this

My question is, how do I get the table borders to appear around the edge, I only want thin black lines as in the second picture on the left column.

Please help!

Hi there,

It's hard to see what's going on, especially because the images differ so much and you haven't provided any code.

I think you're better off posting this in one of the HTML or CSS forums here at p2p.wrox.com. If you do, be sure to post the relevant parts of your code.

Cheers,

Imar

That's only one CSS file which, I am sure will be the same for both screen shots and doesn't tell us much. Although it could be that in on location you're looking at a cached version of the file.

It is, however, the run-time HTML of the two different scenario's that's interesting. Maybe one runs on a case sensitive server so your style sheet isn't loaded. Maybe you link to a local file that cannot be found on the remote server. Maybe your security software blocks part of the HTML for the one from the remote server etc etc etc...

If you do post your HTML, again, I think you're better off posting this in the HTML or CSS forum.

Cheers,

I uploaded a different site top a different host and it worked fine, I guess either my dsl space didnt like capital letters or something else happened. anyway thanks for the help, its sorted now. next time i will post in the other forum as you requested

Cheers.

Yeah, that's quite possible. If you end up on a Windows host, your file names are not case sensitive. So, src="SomeFile.css" matches both SomeFile.css and somefile.css. However, if you have a Unix or other case-sensitive host, this will be seen as two different files, so it's possible your CSS file is never seen and thus not loaded.

Glad it's sorted out now.

Cheers,
