Question ID: 708226

Just making a simple table - see code below. Just want the White table in the middle to be a narrow border between the 2 Grey tables. Please give me the HTML so that Grey boxes are the same but White table is narrow border in between - currently it is too wide. <table border="0" width="99%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" height="1"> <tr> <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96"> <p> </p> </td> <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">  </td> <td width="56%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="0" cellpadding="0" colspan="3">   </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">   </td> <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">  </td> <td width="56%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">  </td> </tr> </table>
Request for Question Clarification by efn-ga on 16 Mar 2006 22:27 PST Try taking out the " ". Does that do what you want?
Clarification of Question by cdn2005-ga on 17 Mar 2006 05:59 PST I've tried taking out the   and specifying the height to 1 or 0 but it remains a wide table - I need it to be a few pixels wide.
Clarification of Question by cdn2005-ga on 17 Mar 2006 07:23 PST That code that was given below changes the entire format of the tables - not what I need.

As mentioned by efn-ga, remove the "&nbsp;" and in specify the height
in pixels for the specific <td> element, as follows:

 <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="8" cellpadding="0" colspan="3">
 </td>

This will solve the problem.

I agree with Ramakanth. This should work:

<table border="1" width="99%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" height="1">
                    <tr>
                      <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
                        <p>&nbsp;</p>
                      </td>
                      <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">&nbsp;
                      </td>
                      <td width="56%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">&nbsp;
                      </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="5"
cellpadding="0" colspan="3">
                     
                      </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
                        &nbsp;
                      </td>
                      <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">&nbsp;
                      </td>
                      <td width="56%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">&nbsp;

Try this:

<table border="0" width="99%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
  <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
  </td>
  <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
   &nbsp;
  </td>
  <td width="56%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
   &nbsp;
  </td>
 </tr>
 <tr style="height:2px;">
  <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" colspan="3"></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td width="23%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
   &nbsp;
  </td>
  <td width="21%" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" height="96">
   &nbsp;
