Hi

Can anyone suggest a quick and easy way to add a border which creates a shadow effect for tables added through the Toolbar, and to change the background colour for cells? I'm hoping you can do this by dropping bits of code into the Source.

Best wishes

You can add background colours to table cells by adding a style to the td:
<td style="background-color:red;">

You can add shadow to the whole table by adding to the style for the table tag:
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:100%; box-shadow: 8px 5px 5px 0px #aaa;">

Thanks very much, Fay. I tried it and it worked. I also managed to accurately insert HTML colour codes!
