Different computers different colors?

What color do you see the borderlines of the tables on this page?

I meant them to be red (used the code Bordercolor="8000000"). On my desktop and phone I see them as red but on my two laptops they appear black. Why would the same code produce different colors on different computers?

You may want to try something similar to:

Code: Select all
<table border="6" style="border-color: #800000; background-color: #ffffe3; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 10px;" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10">
  <tr>
    <td style="padding: 10px;">foo</td>
    <td style="padding: 10px;">bar</td>
  </tr>
</table>


The "bordercolor" attribute and others are deprecated (no longer part of the HTML standard), so fewer and fewer browsers will support them in the future.

I copied and pasted this

<table border="6" style="border-color: #800000; background-color: #ffffe3; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 10px;" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10">


my laptop still showed it as black. My phone which used to show it as red, interestingly changed to 2 sides red 2 sides black.

Thanks anyway, I will play with it a little more.

If your code checks out, blame the browser.
