I've tried a bit with this, and it seems that actually no border can be made with the col as selector (in Mozilla), even this: #bordercol { border: 1px solid green; } <table> <col/><col id="bordercol"/> <tr><td>a</td><td>B</td></tr> <tr><td>a</td><td>B</td></tr> </table> gives me a completely borderfree table! Background works fine, but only as only declaration for a given cell's background, !important is disregarded. The latter has some built-in logic, if the engine does not consider the td as a child of the col, then it cannot force the inheritance. Thanks for the answer though, it was worth a try :-) regards Jesper Brunholm ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
