I am trying to get a very thin border for my table (table rendered from a GridView). I have set the BorderWidth=”0″ for the GridView and then through CSS I am creating the border for the rows that I need. Here I don’t want any border around the grid header. HTML code for grid renders to table and TRs. So I ahave the following css:
tr.top td { border-top: thin solid black; border-left: thin solid black; border-right: thin solid black; }
tr.bottom td { border-bottom: thin solid black; }
This makes the grid look like what I need witn no border in the header. But, the width of the border on other rows is too thick in IE6 but in FF it looks great. Is there a way to make the border extra thin in IE?
Here is the working HTML code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head><title>
Untitled Page
</title>
<style type="text/css">
tr.top td { border-top: thin solid black; border-left: thin solid black; border-right: thin solid black; }
tr.bottom td { border-bottom: thin solid black; }
</style
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="form1">

Use “1px” instead of “thin”.
