Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of a table border, and is there any way to get a value less then 1 for the width?

Thank you, whizzkids!

you can't change the color of a table border -- create a custom border out of small colored cells instead. and you can't go < 1 for the width -- but with custom cells you get more control anyway.

Do you know the HTML code to change the borders though?

― C J (C J), Monday, 13 January 2003 21:58 (twenty-three years ago)

just ...border="[width]" bordercolor="[#color]"... within your TABLE code

What is it that you exactly want to know, CJ?

How to change the border colour when someone rollsover the table?

Good grief, are we getting into javascript now?

We're getting in a pickle, that's what we're getting in.

Thanks Fuzzy - that was what I needed to know. All sorted now!

You are all wonderful. *blows kisses*

cheers CJ i assume you did view the source code for this page and see how the table's parameters were set and could be edited...

until now i have always wondered whether you could actually post html like that...now i know (rubs hands gleefully)

actually CJ you may find using CSS for your tables gives you more flexibility in the long run...its a lot easier than trad. html once you grasp the basics

CSS = cascading style sheets

one year passes...

robot help needed! I've got a robots.txt where I disallow one particular directory, but what I really want to do is prevent archiving/caching by bots. I've got META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE" in my index, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick!

sorry, the disallowing the directory has nothing to do with the archiving issue, don't mean to be confusing.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 18 July 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

do you think it is because I am now using an index.php instead of an index.html?

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 18 July 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

for caching for google i think you need to do a content="nocache" thing too. i don't know if others respect it -- otherwise you gotta let them crawl or not.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 18 July 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

don't you need 'noindex' or 'nofollow'? (noarchive just means that google won't keep a copy, not that it won't crawl it) http://www.searchengineworld.com/metatag/robots.htm

also, now bots have a copy, how do you tell them to forget it? i'm not sure you can.

can you protect the restricted bit with something like basic auth authentication? it would restrict access to that part of the site to people with the password.

(i think nocache is more to do with browsers having to refresh than with google archiving btw, ie you add it to dynamic pages so that browsers realise that the same url that they used 2 minutes ago will now serve up different content and they can't use their cached version: http://www.html-reference.com/nocache.htm)

No, I don't mind indexing or following, I've already got a disallow on my mp3 directory just in case, it's just that I don't want my stuff in an archive that I can't control. I swear META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE" worked on my blogspot blog, why not my (php-based) wordpress blog?
