Is there a way to put an outside border in a table, without having borders in the individual cells?
I am having trouble controlling where items appear so I thought I would try tables in some cases. On my home page http://mvff.tripod.com/ in the “News” box is where I have had the most problems. It is an html box now and when I add or remove items it is often a mess. The image sometimes overlaps text, etc. Would like to make it a one column table with outside border. Each news item could be a separate row and maybe I could put my image of the fly in one of the rows. Would like it to look like it does now with the outside border meeting the New tab.
I have done that by creating a one row, one column, one cell table
with a border = 1, then inside that one cell, put a multi row,one
column, table with border = 0

I have just done something similar with a two column table inserted
inline into an HTML DIV. I gave the DIV a coloured border with round
corners which slightly offset it from the table. Looks quite smart and
keeps content lined up appropriately.
