Hello pfmarconi,

As far as I know, there is no way to create a border color on a table tag in
NS 4.x.

Your only option if you *must* have a border on a table in NS 4 is to nest
tables. There's a tutorial here if you need an example:

The second error won't hurt NS 4, so I wouldn't worry about it :-)

Hope that helps,
~Angela

Those warnings are not very much to worry about, they are basically just letting you know that those two aspects of your code will not be supported by the (age old) browser Netscape 4.

the bordercolor attribute is deprecated, but you can use CSS: style="border:solid 2px #000000" however this isn't supported by NS4 either and it will also give you a warning. Warnings are good, but you don't have to worrry about all of them.

I've never heard of this scope attribute, but it clearly says that it "has no detrimental effect" so I wouldn't worry about it.

MiKE.
