need help with tables

Kilgayne · #1 11-Sep-2005, 14:57

I've started working on my site, http://www.chillyart.com and I wanted to make windows just like this one : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../chillyart.gif

this is the code i'm using :

Code:

function window_start($title,$width)
{
  echo '
<p align="center"><table style="border-collapse: collapse" width="'.$width.'">
  <tr>
    <th height="32" width="14" background="images/u_l.gif"></th>
    <th height="32" background="images/u_m.gif" align="center">- '.$title.' -</th>
    <th height="32" width="14" background="images/u_r.gif"></th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="24" width="14" background="images/b_l.gif"></td>
    <td height="24" background="images/b_m.gif"></td>
    <td height="24" width="14" background="images/b_r.gif"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="14" background="images/s_l.gif"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">';
}

//Add stuff between these two functions

function window_end()
{
  echo '</td>
    <td width="14" background="images/s_r.gif"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="8" width="14" background="images/l_l.gif"></td>
    <td height="8" background="images/l_m.gif"></td>
    <td height="8" width="14" background="images/l_r.gif"></td>
  </tr>
</table>';
}

note that the pictures to put in the background have in fact a width of 16 pixels. For some reason, if i set the width to 16 there are lines between the cells (thats one thing i dont understand) so I had to set the width of the cells to 14. I'm building my site on a Windows platform and I host it on Redhat Linux 9. I looked at my site on a Macintosh and there was still lines (even thicker ones) between the cells (another thing I don't get).

Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to do the same thing without having all those problems?
