can any one write me a class which can be applied to a table and will change the outer borders of that table only I want to create a box around my contents in a web page. Setting border="1" set border of cells as well. I don't want to use inner table just want a CSS solution. Something like this

PART OF MY PAGE.. MAY CONTAINS TABLE AND OTHERS
CLASS APPLIED ABOVE SHOULD HAVE NO EFFECT HERE
Of course BORDER WILL COLLAPSE IN ACTUAL HTML

If you apply the style to the table rather than the rows or cells, you'll get a border around the table only. Try this for the CSS style:

<style type="text/css">
    .bordered-table
   {
        border: 1px solid;
   }
</style>

And here's an example of applying it to a table:

<table class='bordered-table'>
<tr><td>one</td><td>two</td><td>three</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td></tr>
