I think... although that link to the pic link doesnt work for me, (times out), so i'm not entirely sure which border you mean...
i coped that code into Dw & previewd in browser, & if you mean the white gap between the top bit & the grey bit (hope that makes sense)

then i think...

Quote:

that bit is the bit causing it

it should be:

<th width="770" height="195" valign="middle" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" scope="col"><table width="770" height="195" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th width="278" height="135" bgcolor="#993300" scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<th width="492" height="195" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#99CC33" scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th width="278" height="60" bgcolor="#00CCFF" scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
</table></th>

'reason is, the 'row' at the top which contains the table with the green blue & brownyorange colour has a height of 197
and the table has a height of 196
the green bit has a height of 194
and the other two bits add up to make 195,

that alltogether gave a tiny like 1px gap or 'border' between the top bit and the grey bit
making them all 195 (my suggestion above) gets rid of that gap for me..

hope that helps (or at least made sense?)

In Dreamweaver, go to View > visual aids and turn the table outlines off (my visual aids menu is mysteriously empty right now so I can't tell you exactly what it says). That's the only reason you can't see them in Dreamweaver. I notice there is a problem with some extra spacing in IE7. For some reason I can't get firefox to start up so I can check it there.

It would be a lot better to do your borders with CSS rather than counting on spacing between tables to make them. Much more reliable Table heights have always been a little iffy.

Megan i dont want the borders to show up, and frankly i cant understand why they do show up
