Outer border line ?? Help...

I know to bring outer border line I can do it with css coding:

#main {
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #E7EBF0;
}

But what if it is a table layout html page? How to show outer border lines on the outskirts of the entire page? I tried with border="1', it didn't help.

 

I think you have made some small mistake please write your style in the table tag.
For example <table border=8 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=2 bordercolor="#663300">. This should be working. Then put the correct syntax into the style sheet.

 

No, I do not want to use css in this case. My question is how to bring outer-border line on html coded page which has 5 tables in it? Like I said, I tried using border="1" but it didn't help. So how to solve this tiny problem?

 

Create a container table around your table like so:

<table border="1px">
<tr>
<td>
       <table><tr><td>this is my first table</td></tr></table>
       <table><tr><td>this is my second table</td></tr></table>
       <table><tr><td>this is my third table</td></tr></table>
       <table><tr><td>this is my fourth table</td></tr></table>
       <table><tr><td>this is my fifth table</td></tr></table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

HTML:

 

Well, that solution gives me outer boarder lines on each of the tables separatly, one by one. That's not I am looking for. I need the outer-boarder lines (the very outer) of the whole page itself.

 

Give your table a class

<td class="firstTable">
</td>

Then add your style sheet,

<style>
table.firstTable {
border: 1px solid;
}
</style>

Try that
