question about tables in html

Here are the files

Why are you using tables in 2015? Jump to the 21st century and use DIVs instead.

As t3g said, tables should be used for tables not general layout. The CSS sheet is indeed overriding your HTML, look at the line 46. For most cases its also better to use CSS in separate file(s) for all styling.

It's not a table border what you see in that html, but a td border.

As rakyi said, is in line 46


th, td {
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0.5em;
}

Old page and more for the sake of demonstration, but i like it very much.
Go css all the way, it's so much better than tables.

Ps.: just browse "all designs"

thanks guys

"div" is next on my list of things to learn, and I will read the zengarden page too
