Making bordercolor work in FireFox / Mozilla (See related posts)

IE and Safari support the bordercolor attribute directly on TABLE elements which colors the external and internal borders. FireFox does not, but you can use standard CSS to fix it.

TABLE { border: 1px solid #eee; }
TABLE TD { border: 1px solid #eee; }


Unlike most solutions, this also correctly changes the color of the cell borders.

why not just this:

/* same rule, applied to two elements */
table, table td {border: solid 1px #eee;}

table, table td {border: solid 1px #eee;}

This is pretty old, but I need to know if there is a way to make it only apply to a certain table, as it's not working for me in a separate CSS document, as the layout of the website I am fixing is created almost totally in tables, so when I try to use this rule, it applies to the whole website. Is the only other way to add it straight to the code?

Pyrofyr:

Define an ID for your table:
css:
#mytable1, #mytable1 td {border: 1px solid #eee;}

html:
<table id="mytable1">
<tr><td>content</td></tr>
</table>
