Re: FN-FORUM: CSS tables

date posted 1st May 2003 18:57

If you are using dreamweaver then this is relatively simple task. all you
have to do is define a CSS template then in the options panel select:

1. Redefine html tag

In the list of options you then need to click on table. Remembering that
this will change any table that you assign the CSS to. If you have a couple
of table make sure you are assigning the correct one and not all of them.
