    Cell Border Color: Firefox vs. IE.
    Here I've colored the cell border Red (FF0000).

    In IE it is the candy apple red that I want it to be
    But
    In FF, it's an odd two toned color and includes a "bevel".

    I love the bevel that FF shows but hate the color.

    Anyone know how I can have the best of both worlds?:
    1. Have it appear more like candy apple red in FF, and
    2. Show the bevel in IE?

    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Code:
    <table align="center" style="border: 10px solid #FF0000; width: 90%;">

    Just change the "solid" to either "inset" or "outset" (depending on what way round you want the darker/lighter shades.

    Code:
    <table align="center" style="border: 10px inset #FF0000; width: 90%;">
<table align="center" style="border: 10px outset #FF0000;  width: 90%;">

    More on the "border" attribute

    I'll try that one. Just yesterday I found this one, which designates a color for each "wall" of the table:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<table width="90%" border="10" align="center" bordercolor="#FF0000">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

    Rick, I think you posted the wrong code - that's the code for the original example. Nothing to do with a colour for each wall :)

    Oops. I see!

    Here it is:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<table width="90%" align="center" style="border: 10px solid; border-color: #FF0000 #B22222 #FF0000 #B22222">
  <tr>
    <td style="border: 1px solid" bordercolor="000">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note, colors are designated for each border...this gets a beveled look in
  IE. </p>
</body>
</html>
