#table-3 {border-collapse:collapse;}
table {margin:auto;a:link, a:visited {color:#000000; font-size: 15px;font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;}}
td{font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;border:1 solid #000000;
Say what now? For kicks I fed those three lines into the CSS validator. It got a whopping seven errors.
To pick one at random:
{border:1 solid #000000;}
1 what? If a user agent can't make sense of the CSS, it goes back to its own defaults.
And where's the CSS for table2?
And --rhetorical question-- what's this fixation with using IDs for styling? I see it everywhere and frankly it makes no sense. You're just painting yourself into a corner.
Someone else may have something to say about the equally inexplicable
<td><div align="center">Ward of Borough <strike>or Urban District</strike></div></td>
I'm going to bed. Just as soon as I've wrestled .2cc of azithromycin into Little Feet.

Thanks for the friendly welcome I hoep you slept well.
I am a beginner at this. Six weeks ago the site was still in frames, but I am not trying to paint anything into anywhere. I am just trying to bring it all up to date.
As for your criticism of <td><div align="center">Ward of Borough <strike>or Urban District</strike></div></td>. Perhaps you could you say why you feel it is inexplicable?
How else would you show a word that has been crossed out?
I would welcome the benefit of your knowledge rather than a slagging off
As for table two, it works so I didn't post it.
Regards
Antony

Is that not supposed to be -
table {margin:auto;}
a:link, a:visited {color:#000000; font-size: 15px;font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;}
Just a guess. Probably won't fix your other problems, though.

The table displays fine. The HTML appears OK.
It's just that I can't get the borders of Table 3 to disappear. Here is the revised CSS. There are no links in the table in any event
table {margin:auto;font-size: 15px;font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;}
td{font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;border-collapse:collapse;}
#table-3 {border-collapse:collapse; border:0px solid black;}
#table-2,td {border: 1px solid black; }

I have almost achieved what I set out to do.
There is now just a vertical line left visible in table-3
I have tried everything I possibly can think of to remove this. Any thoughts anyone ?
Table CSS
table {margin:auto;font-size: 15px;font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;}
td{font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;border-collapse:collapse;}
#table-3, {border-collapse:collapse; border:0px solid black;border-style:hidden;}
#table-3,tr,th,td {border-collapse:collapse; border:0px solid black;border-style:hidden;border-bottom-color:#708090;}
#table-2,td {border: 1px solid black; }

For starters:
#1 read the Forums rules. No links to your own site.
#2 validate the html and the css.
You're expected to do the basics yourself.
Picking one thing at random: "border-collapse" is not a cell property. It is a table property. The default value is "separate", meaning that each cell will have its own border.
Why are the bold and italic properties applied to both the table and the cell? font-style and font-weight are both inherited, so once they're applied to a table, everything inside the table will have the same properties unless you explicitly say otherwise.
You've redefined "td" twice after its initial definition.
#table-3,tr,th,td
and
#table-2,td
do not mean "cells within table-3 or table-2", they mean "all cells everywhere". If you mean
#table-3 td
and similar, then say so.
Is
#table-3, {border-collapse:collapse; border:0px solid black;border-style:hidden;}
a typo? The trailing comma makes the whole thing into one big parse error. This is just as well, since "hidden" makes all other border statements meaningless-- unless they are overridden by other declarations later in the CSS.
See above about basics. You can also view the offending page in one of the many browsers that has a "developer" feature (exact name depends on browser). Firefox is one of them.

I'm sorry Lucy24 but as I said I am a beginner at this.
To say I have not done the basics is unfair, I spent a whole day yesterday reading, scouring the web and doing everything I could to resolve this.
All I can say is that I am glad you are not my teacher you type things and don't explain why. You give me no suggestions.
I didn't realise that this forum was not for learners.
If you have any comments, I shan't see them because I have unsubbed from this thread. I was hoping for help not a slagging off
Regards
Antony
