Table border width

[loosestring]

With regular html tags I set my table border width to 1px, but it's still wider than I'd like. I have seen many a site where the border is more fine like these phpBB forums. How do I set my borders to be thin like that? Is it a different language than html (xml, php, etc.) or is it maybe something that can be set up in a css style?

By far the best way to get single pixel table/cell borders is to use CSS. A declaration like this:

table {border: 1px};

will give you what you want.

See here (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html) for more information.

You can achieve the same thing with plain HTML by using 1px width/height rows and columns but this is not recommended :wink:
