I'm obsessing about getting the borders/rules in my table just so. See the attached link to see my current condition. I have a table with thead, tfoot, and tbody sections with just two columns in the body. My goal is to have sort of an I shape with the rules with one between the columns, one between the head and body, and one between the body and the foot. I'm almost there, but I have an extra vertical line to the right of the second column. As is, I could live with it, but I'd be tickled pink to get rid of that right rule.

This line here is missing a '/'

<thead><tr><th colspan="2" style="font-size:18pt">YaYa's Hulva<br><br></th></tr></thead>

You may want to validate your pages for accurate HTML/CSS to spot errors like this. Available at:

Actually, I did run it through the validator. It caught one other error I had, but didn't fix the real problem. I think the validator didn't recognize this as an error since the end tag is optional. OK that's the other thing that bugs me about html. But thanks for mentioning the site. I just learned about it from this forum fairly recently. It makes a big difference.
