Author border marker color

Hello,

can I change the color of the border marker line (the dotted) in DW mx
from the default black to something else? when I design a black
background page I can not see mt border lines, only if I give them a
color which means a width, which means, screwing up the design.

thanks,

Mic

You could do it with css stylesheets.

If you only want it for one table, add the following to the <table> tag.

<table style="border: 1px solid white;">

Change the pixel value as required.
Instead of 'solid' write 'dotted' or one of the other value provided in
the css editor in DW.
Instead of 'white', write the hexcode of the colour required with a # in
front of the hexcord.

If you want this to apply to individual cells, you have to write the
same style rule into each <td> tag in the table.

------------------------

More economically,

Give your table an id; e.g. <table id="table_01">

go to the css file linked to your html file.

write the style information into the css file; thus:


#table_01 {
border: 1px solid white;
}

Write anything else between the braces that you want to apply to the
table as whole.


Then write:

#table_01 td {
border: 1px solid white;
}

That means: "for any cell <td> in this particular table", the following
style rules apply. Add whatever other things you want to apply.


There are lots of variations on this, depending on what you want to
achieve in your site as a whole.

The above just solves the problem for one particular table. There are
also ways of making it apply to all tables or to several selected
tables. See css tutorials on this.

If you want these borders only while you are editing a table, keep them
while you are editing, remove them from the style sheet when you have
finished.

Remove them temporarily by commenting them out IN THE STYLE SHEET, i.e.
putting


/*

before the style

and

*/

after the style.

That way you can bring the borders and other features in and out as
required.


Good luck.
