table border help!

dewebsign · 11-23-2003, 07:42 AM

I am almost finished with the design of a site for a local Chamber of Commerce. I just added the navigation down the bottom of the members directory. I think this is when the border on my table navigation screwed up, but I'm not positive.

Check out
http://www.granvillechamber.com
and
http://www.granvillechamber.com/memb...modations.html

Can anyone tell me why the border of the navigation table with the slate background is dark on the members page?

It is supposed to all look like the home page.
Partial code :
<table STYLE="background-image: url('shingle.jpg'); border: 2 ridge #800000" border="4" bgcolor="#6d7192" bordercolordark="#8083ae" bordercolor="#336699" bordercolorlight="#b9bdd0" align="center" cellpadding="3" width="73%">

They both look the same to me

Both the tables look the same or the code looks the same?

I can see what you are talking about, but your code is so sloppy, it is hard to dig through.

I'm self taught and this is the first website I have done for anyone but myself and my motel.

What's sloppy about my code?

Jazzee · 11-23-2003, 08:29 AM

I'm sorry. It's not sloppy now. I looked a little bit ago and it was all weird looking.

I am looking at your html and I don't see why the tables are showing up differently.

What program was the site created with?

I use Arachnophilia (text editor for html)

All hand written code.

I also uncompressed those two pages between posts I thought that might help viewing.

So, that explains the weird looking code the first time I looked. I thought maybe I was losing my mind

Yeah, I figured you might be wondering what happened.

I didn't think of the compression until you said my code was sloppy.

Any ideas on the table border?

I should have noticed this right away... #800000 is a dark red. You need to change that to a light color.

Thank you, I'm fixing all 60 pages now even though half of them weren't showing the coding error on the table.

Any ideas why it only screwed up on the members pages?

Jazzee · 11-23-2003, 08:57 AM

No, I don't know.

dewebsign · 11-23-2003, 09:07 AM

That's what keeps it interesting. The unknown.

Thank you for your help.

lol lacking line breaks and indents on the code!

why's that?

dewebsign · 11-23-2003, 02:04 PM

The compress feature on my html editor takes out the page breaks and indents and reduces file size up to 30KB on very large files (average reduction 2KB- 7KB)

I did upload the uncompressed version for a short time when Sara was helping to find the error.

I see, not a bad idea.
