Gah. I know HTML, I really do. But what I'm trying to do is create a setup for ebay, so when I sell stuff, I wont always have to type up the friggin code.

But, what I need to know is:

How can I make a table with borders that are flat and colored? Usually when I make tables, the borders come out in 3D, and I need it to be flat.

Gah, can anyone help? I'm so old skool, not using CSS or anything.

btw- this is what I have already

You don't get much fine and portable control over what tabels do without going to CSS

I suspect you want something like this (only tested on Firefox)

[code:1]<html><head>
<style>
table, td { border: 3px solid #ed1941; text-align: center;}
</style>
</head><body>
<table cellspacing="0">
<tbody><tr>
<td>cell1</td>
<td>cell2</td>
</tr> <tr>
<td>cell3</td>
<td>cell4</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table></body></html>[/code:1]

I cant use CSS though - it's for ebay and I cant make a style-sheet or whatever Sachiel told me because I only get one page. I have to do it all in HTML.

But i'll try that.

Edit:

Yep, thats it! Thanks. I'm so friggin old skool when it comes to anything like that. I only know HTML from like, when the time java was new... ;_;

Putting the CSS in-line works - it just prevents you feeding different styles to different browsers by taking advantages of bugs in how they parse it.

Your current take on the page

[code:1]<html>
<center><img src="welcome.png"><center>
<head>
<style> ...[/code:1]

has misplaced content outside of the page body (line 2), and the second center tag shoud probably be instead. You probably want a <title></title> for the page in the <head>, and to be pedantic (as I wasn't) the style tag should say <style type="text/css">

If you're being masochistic, there's an official validation service run by the W3C at http://validator.w3.org/ - fortunately they don't send trouble consultants around to help you.
