Borders Not Working Out as I want Them too...

http://www.westgeauga.k12.oh.us/hs/75/index.shtml

The problem with the above page is the borders. I want them to all be the same size as the outside borders but the ones where they double up are 2x as thick. How do you fix problems like that? I've been pondering it over an hour and figured I'd ask. Also if I want the back ground to be repeating, like everything on the left of the red content box, and everything on the right of it... so it just expands to the users browser width how would I do that?

Thanks

Ugh, Dreamweaver. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.h...border-collapse

The borders don't show up in Firefox.

Why tables for layout is stupid
Why avoiding tables (for layout) is important
No, I'm not advocating the use of absolute positioning, which is what many people immediately think of when confronted with the thought of a tableless layout. I'm advocating using CSS in general. I find that floats and margins can be very useful for positioning elements. I do use absolute positioning once in a while, when it really is the best way to position an element.

Use CSS.

You can specify, for example,
Code:
.yertable {
       border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
       border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
       }
but notice border-top or border-bottom are missing, which would solve your doubling border up problem.

You can also specify something like
Code:
body {
       background-image: url(filename);
       background-repeat: repeat;
      }
which will repeat the background image.

Take a look here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp to learn more CSS. There's a lot you can do.

Edit: Actually, I think it looks much better without the borders.
