Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	Forgive my terseness; I'm exhausted and frustrated at this idiotic problem ... I've been hired to help recreate an existing site for which we can't get the original code. Someone else is handling the backend and I'm handling the layout. (I can, of course, look at their HTML/CSS, but it is an absolute mess, so I'm recreating the look with compliant markup.) Anyway, I'm trying to get this blasted gold border around this table and it just ain't happening in Firefox. Here's how it looks in IE and how it's [b]supposed[/b] to look: [img]http://www.bigwaste.com/asylum/outer_border_ie.gif[/img] I've read up on box-model weirdness, I've jacked with padding, margins, nesting, etc., I've checked W3C standards on which border styles override which others, I've tried hidden borders, background colors, divs, I've ... ugh ... I've done so much I can't remember it all. You can see the most basic version of the markup [url=http://www.bigwaste.com/asylum/outer_border.html]here[/url], which looks like the above in IE, and looks like this in FF: [img]http://www.bigwaste.com/asylum/outer_border_ff.gif[/img] My various tweaks and alternate approaches have all ended up with some variation of this, with some part of the border hidden or with too much space in one place or another. If you can make it look correct cross-browser, I will love you. Please Note: 1. There is a 1-pixel black separation between the table and the gold border. Again, this is a site I have been requested to duplicate so this is what I need to make happen, if at all possible. 2. Their original markup was a nested table, which didn't work in FF either. 3. Before suggesting a solution, I humbly ask that you try it first. You might be surprised what doesn't work. Thank you for playing!
