Hi,
I'm currently designing a personal website for all my photos n stuff. Anyway, I've got a table I want to give a border, but whenever I use dw "border" option, it gives a big horrible thick border. Just wanting to know if there was any way to give a table a border that wasnt as thick as the default one you get when you insert "1" into the field. Some help on the matter would be appreaciated.
While im here, id also like to address the "font" matter. I know the font of a website contributes a lot to the design. In the past ive made websites that look brilliant (in my eyes anyway) on my screen, but whenever i view it from another computer, the font changes to somthing else and it just looks a mess. Is there any way to make the font stay he same and not change from computer to computer?
Cheers, and thanks for your time.

Greetings,
On the table, well it's pretty easy. Start by creating a table, and giving the border, and cellpadding attributes a value of zero. Then, make the cellspacing attribute as "1". Next, set the background of the table as black (or whatever color you want), and the background color of the cell itself (td) as white. You should have a table with a 1 pixel wide border. And with a little more effort, you should be able to put this into a CSS styles document.
As for the font issue, may I ask whether the fonts you used were the common ones, and not ones which require manual installs? There isn't a sure fire way to make uncommon fonts display at all using regular ol' HTML unfortunatly (unless you include alternatives), however you can use Flash for that instead. This is possible because Flash gives designers the option of including the font inside the document itself, making manual font installs completely unnecessary.
If you're more concerned about size, then using CSS should help in that respect.
Good luck.Last edited on Wed Jan 21st, 2004 04:14 pm by Woodman
