table borders and netscape
Is is possible to rid table borders of that default beveled effect in Netscape? I'm having no luck with this at all

Not in NS 4.x no. What you have to do is use a work around.
There are two ways to do this:
1. Nest your table within a slightly larger table with a background colour, then add cellspacing to your content table so the background shows.
<table border=0 bgcolor="whatever"><tr><td>
<table border=0 cellspacing=1 bgcolor="white">
<tr><td>
This is your content
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
2. Create a border using thin table cells with background colours containing transparent gif's. This can get complicated, but it does allow you to add a border selectively to some edges but not others.

Nope. not quite what I mean.
I am doing exactly what you describe and giving the outer table a border/colour in order to create a box effect.
Looks fine in IE. In Netscape 4.72, there is a slight bevel to the border that doesn't exist in IE.
I don't have this uploaded for you to look at but I have the exact same issue on my main site:

Doh. Sorry Megan. I just reread your post and see what you mean.
