FP: FrontPage Editor Does not Support "border=0" Table Attribute

ID: Q156840

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1
Microsoft FrontPage for the Power Macintosh, version 1.0

SUMMARY

FrontPage Editor does not support the addition of "border=0" to the extended attributes of a table.

MORE INFORMATION

The proposed HTML 3.2 specification states the following:

The attributes on TABLE are all optional. By default, the table is rendered without a surrounding border.

Therefore the "border=0" attribute is not necessary.

When Netscape Navigator encounters a table without a border attribute, it separates the cells in the table by a space sufficient to render a 1 pixel border. This may be a problem when you attempt to align images within a table. The "border=0" attribute is required to allow images to be aligned flush against each other in Netscape Navigator. This is not required in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
