Not exactly sure what your question is??
1 px black border around a table ?? Use a style - put the following in the
head of your document before the </head> tag


<style type="text/css">
<!--
..tableBlack{
border: 1px solid solid #000000;
}
-->
</style>

If this isn't what you mean, please rephrase your question ..

That's what I mean, but how does one get it to actually work in Netscape in
Opera? In fact, never mind Opera. Netscape is fine.

I'm using this:

.tableBlack{
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

Notice how only the top/left are truly solid.

Does that make sense?

Where is the code?

Right now I'm doubling up:

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000"
class="tableBlack">

and

.tableBlack{
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
}

Initially I just had this as the CSS:

border: 1px solid solid #000000;

But I thought I'd try mixing it up a bit...

Didn't help.

I also tried removing it from the table properties, and just leaving it in the CSS. That didn't help either.

Use -

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tableBlack">

and -

border: 1px solid #000000;

(note there is only a single instance of 'solid')

Yep. When using CSS for styling borders you have to style _both_ the
table- and the td/th-elements. If you want to apply a black border to
them without using deprecated attributes you should use something like

HTML:

<table class="tableBlack">
....
</table>

CSS:

..tableBlack, .tableBlack td {
border: 1px solid #000;
border-collapse: collapse
}

Also notice that "tableBlack" is a bad name for a class, because it
contains presentational information. What if you want to change the
border color to something different than black one day? Try to find a
name that describes the meaning of the table, not its presentation.

Nest your table inside another table. Use bgcolor to set the color of the
outer table and then make the inner table slightly smaller in width and
height. You get a border that works in any browser.

No, you won't. The right way to do this 'hack' would be to make both tables
dimensionless, but make the outer one have 1px cellpadding. CSS is a better
approach, though.
