Okay, been re-shaping the current project site. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Down to the final glitch, a fixtures/results table. It's one table for the main layout, with another embedded in a cell for the actual data (which isn't a problem).
Thing is, there was going to be a red outline, with a break at the top around the word 'matches'.
Unfortunately, the top red line isn't as thin as the ones on the sides and bottom.
I set spacing and padding to 0, and used a 2 px high image, same red as the cell bg, to control height. The 'matches' cell has rowspan 3, and there are a couple of empty cells knocking around to make up the numbers.
Take a look at:

I've set borders to 2 so you can see the cells, and the source code is at the bottom, under tripod's own banner ad junk code.
Thanks,

That's a much better way of doing it. I think i'll use that method for the border (the colored lines around the outside, not the attribute!), and probably have an image for the titile text.
Thanks for all the help.
Thanks for all the help.
One last thought - given that its so complicated to get the look you wanted, you probably ought to go for something simpler, or as I said, use an image instead of plain text and background colours.
You could try this ... the cellpadding on the first table tag sets the border width, and then the CSS padding adjusts the default for the cells in successive rows. This is OK in IE6 and NS6, but looks wrong in NS4 - nothing I can do about that! Also - it looks like you'll not get the word "Results" right up at the top of it's cell. To do that, you'd need to create a .gif image with the word instead. Oh, and I've used blue rather than red for the border, and I lost your style for the fonts and colors, but they're easily changed.
OK, I see the page now ...
Tried to check the site for you, but its unavailable at the moment. Maybe you've taken it offline. Let us know when its back and I'll try to help.
Try setting some witdh and height attributes in px and see what happens
