CSS Border Question for Tables

[limitphp]

If I want to have borders in tables that are 1 px in width:

 

- if I put style='border: 1px solid' in the table tag, it'll just put a border around the whole table, but not individual cells.

 

- if I put style='border: 1 px solid" in the td tags, it'll give me a border for each individual cell, but it will double up where the cells meet.  In other words, in between two cells it will have a border width of 2px.

 

Is there an easy way to get 1px borders for tables?

thanks

this might sound too simple but can you not just write

table, tr, td {
  border: solid; 
  }

I think that if you don't specify the px value it won't overlap?

Unfortunately that did not work.  It made the borders really thick.

If you have no cell spacing then just apply your borders to the bottom/right and remove the right border from the main table.

looks like that is what I had to do....

just thought maybe, they would let you declare the border: 1 px and that would take care of it without doubling up on adjacent borders, but I guess not.

 

I read somewhere that border-collapse would do it, but that didn't work in firefox.
