Good! Glad to see you're getting this all straight!

Yeah yeah! Of course I know that I can change the name! Well it is working now! Thanks for your help Suzanne!

no no no no... just put that CSS bit in your CSS file. And for pete's sake, please tell me that you know that when I say "thisone" I mean "whatever you choose to call it", right?

Timewell — Sun, 15 Dec 2002 00:06:32 +0000

I save the file as thisone.css?

That's not going to be possible if you use a table to create a border. Nested tables to create borders isn't a good approach anymore as there are better ways (CSS).

Set the table border in CSS, and remove the nested table, then you should have what you want.

table#thisone {
    border: 2px solid black;
}

.newsheader {
    background-color: #efefef;
}

HTML

<table id="thisone" width="395">
    <tr>
        <td>
        <span class="newsheader"><strong><Field: Subject></strong><br>
 - Posted by <a href="mailto:<Field: UserField_Email>">
<Field: User></a> on <Field: Date></span>

        <p><Field: Text></p>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

I want the Header of the news to have a grey background, with a black border and for the table where the news is posted to be transparent so that I can see an image in it with the text on top of it

table is black
table cell is white
div is grey

?! What do you want to have happen, exactly?

I got rid of the bit which you were talking about, I think but it is still the same. I want to keep the grey and the border around the outside.

This is the code:

<table border="0.5" bgcolor="#000000" width="395">
<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div style="background-color: #efefef"> <p><strong><Field: Subject></strong><br>
 - Posted by <a href="mailto:<Field: UserField_Email>"><Field: User></a> on <Field: Date><br></div>
<Field: Text></p>
</tr></td>
</table></table> <br>

If you want the tables to not have backgrounds, don't set them. You have tables and cells with bgcolor set.
