Hi, I need some HTML help. I have a table in my auctions, but I want to make the background white. So, I changed my HTML and now my table background is white - but now the gridlines disappeared! I want the gridlines to still show up. How do I make the gridlines in the table show up AND have a white background? Thanks in advance!

ExecutiveGirl, I don't know html like the back of my hand yet, but here's a great site for help:
http://www.geocities.com/~annabella/html.html

It's a great little user friendly site.

You probably just have to stick one more tag in defining border color - like I said, I'm still a beginner.

Hope this helps.

Post script: I don't think you need to define your background color for eBay. I don't have a background color on my tables and it just shows up white.

Here is a great place to get help with tables. Go to this link and you will see a listing of drop-down menus. Use the Magenta Menu "Help with Tables".

The default is a white background -- no need to change that!!

This will give you lines:
<table cellpadding="4" border="1">

The cellpadding command ensures there is some space between the borders and the inside text.

Set your table border=1 cellpadding=1 and cellspacing=1 & that will give you lines by defining the individual cells.

If you still experience problems, add
bordercolor="?" to your table tag. Replace ? with any color other than
white.
