Dreamweaver MX and tables with Borders?

Question

I have created a website with tables. My client wants a white border around the WHOLE site which didnt seem that big a deal until i tried doing it. I selected "Modify>table>select table> and then used the properties box to put the border HOWEVER, it makes borders around the CELLS as well and I dont want that. SOOO, I selected the CELL and then told it "NO BORDER" but, it still shows the white border around the cell. The ONLY way I can kinda get rid of it is make the cell border "black" and that kinda blends in with some of the graphics BUT>>>> you can still kind of see it. SOOOO, my question is.... How do I put a white border around the entire table with NO borders around each individual cell? I cant figure out how to do it???

Both the other two respondants are correct except that:



You shouldn't use a class, it should be an ID. Classes are for elements that may be repeated on the page; IDs are for one-off elements such as a border/menu/footer etc.



So the code should actually read:







and apply class border to the outermost table.
