borders on just one side of a cell?

I've heard you can create borders that run along just one side of a table
cell/row etc. you can also make them dotted so you can create dotted rules
in your layouts to seperate things.
Is there a way to do this through dreamweaver or do you have to hand code
it? If so what's the coding?
Thanks!

Yes, it can be done in Dreamweaver. Just put it in your style sheet (if you
aren't using one, you should be!!

table.borderRight {
border-right: 1px dotted #CC0000;
}

<table class="borderRight" ...>

Or if you want it only on one cell:

td.borderRight {
border-right: 1px dotted #CC0000;
}

<table>
<tr>
<td class="borderRight">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

dumb question:

Why would you not do:

..borderRight {border-right: 1px dotted #ccc;}

and then it could be applied to various elements on a page (or site):

<table class="borderRight">
<td class="borderRight">
<div class="borderRight">
<p class="borderRight">

Because I haven't had coffee in 4 days and I've been kept up all ours by an
unruly template from hell

Thanks for putting me in my place, Al!

....again :-D

When you're in the neighborhood, drop by and I'll make you some very stout
espresso ;-)
