quickie formatting question

Hi there! I imported data from excel and I'm trying to figure out how I can have borders for some of the cells, and have no borders for other columns. I tried hitting control to select certain cells, but when I preview it in explorer, it selected everything. HELP! Thanks in advance

You should use CSS to help you with this problem. on the cells you want
bordered, add the following code:

style="border: 1 solid"

Although you might end up with some really thick borders, so you might have
to modify it some . . . but you should definately play with it.

Of course for those browsers that don't know "border-collapse", you can
place 1 px border on the <td>, bottom and left.
And to your <table> 1px border, top and right.(or vv)
cellspacing to 0

There are a couple of things you need to do. First, apply the style
"border-collapse: collapse" to the table to prevent the borders from
doubling when you apply borders to adjacent cells. Then, for the cells
that you want to border, apply the style "border: 1px solid #000".
Replace the "#000" with the color of the border you want. It might
look something like this:

Of course most of those browsers don't do very well understanding CSS
borders at all. ;-)
