bordercolor

[Rodney]

How can I give a specific cell in a table a bordercolor?

[DougBTX]

<table border="1">
<tr><td style="border: 1px solid red">Text</td></tr>
</table>

Something like that.

.red { border-color: red; }

<table border="1">
<tr><td class="red">Red</td><td>Text</td></tr>
<tr><td>Text</td><td>Text</td></tr>
</table>

Can I put the color also in #...... ?

[DougBTX]

Guess.

No, really, give it a try yourself. Does it work?

Douglas

[Rodney]

No, it doesn't.

[DougBTX]

How about rgb colours? Do they work?

.red { border-color: rgb(255,0,0); }

Sorry for being an a-ss about it, but really.... (a-ss is a censored word????? I know this is an international forum and all... but a-ss? It means donkey!)

I'm sorry for not being clear.
The # is working.
The problems come when I add class=".." to the "<td>".

That seems to block the cell. And don't changes the bordercolor.

# in a stylesheet denotes an ID not a class. If your stylesheet has #whatever in it, your table cell has to have an id of "whatever".

[Rodney]

I tested the example and that seems to work.
I'm obviously doing something wrong.

[Rodney]

So I can't use the #..... .
I'll try the RGB code.

[DougBTX]

Rodney: # can be used in more than one place in a CSS file.

This is a colour, and this is an id selector:

#redcell { border-color: #f00; }

<td id="redcell">red</td>

hth,

It's working now.
Thanx for the help and the patience.
