Help-Have a border problem

[Catt]

Hi, I have FP'03, somehow I put a border around all of the tables in my whole
site. I don't remember consciously doing this. I was messing with my tables
at one point. I was having a problem getting the table border to stay within
theme. For some reason the table border of a table I just made wanted to
stay gray. So not being too sure (since I'm coming from FP'02) I was
experimenting. I was trying to straighten out my left shared border which
suddenly went to a different font that I had not seen before. I got that
squared away but I don't know how to get rid of the blue border around my
pages. www.caturner.com is the site. It must be something within the default
theme?
Thanks
Catt

table borders are visible by default.

In the table properties, set the table border to "0" and set "border
collapse" on.

A sort of work-around if that doesn't work in all browsers, then set the
border's colour to the same as that of your background - if the background
is just a solid colour - e.g. if the bg is white, set the table borders to
white.

Thanks Andrew but I think you're missing something, or maybe its my
description. I know tables borders' are visible by default but in this case a
blue 1 px border was placed around "everything" in my web. I mean the whole
page, border of the page, border of the link bar, etc etc. everywhere. And
the borders on all my tables which were yellow in color before have become
blue as well. So this blue border must have been forced into creating by
something I did in the "theme" section. Am I wrong?
Thanks

Check the css file for the theme and see if the border is set there.

Thanks for the reply but I can see no way to get to anything that refers to
css when I click on format>theme. I can get to a pull down box for tables
and borders but none of the settings are available (but interestingly) the
border boxes that show the color of table borders is blue...but I can't
access it) . I opened my files and see only 7 files that actually have an
extension of .css. I cannot open any of those files since they are all part
of a theme. I opened all of my site files and sorted them by date, to my
surprise none of the dates were today's date but two days ago. I don't
understand what is going on here. Can someone give me a step x step on how
to check the css in the theme. Once again I have fp03. Thank you very much
for any help

From the theme CSS, you have specified borders for tables 1px solid
#0000ff, this appears to over-rule the border="0" attribute in the
<table> tag.

Open a page, Format->Theme - click customize
Click Text, then More Text Styles
Change the drop down to HTML tags
Select table from the list
Click Modify, then Format->Border
Click Default under Setting
Click umpteen OK buttons - not the last - and then save as a new
name.
Apply the new theme to your pages.

THANK YOU! Your step x step was perfect. I never would have figured out the
"change the drop down to html tag" and even the "more text styles" just does
not sound correct but it certainly was. Thanks again for getting me through
this problem.
