That's the code.

<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:400px; position:absolute; top:250px; left:184px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border: 0px 0px 0px 0px;">
<tr>
**** align="left" id="schwarzschattig" width="180px" style="padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;">
<img src="upred.gif" align="absbottom" >Home*****>
**** align="left" id="schwarzschattig" width="180px" style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">
<img src="upred.gif" align="absbottom" >Home*****>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" id="schwarzschattig" width="180px" style="border-top: 1px solid black; padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;">
<img src="downred.gif" align="top">
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
</td>
<td align="left" id="schwarzschattig" width="180px" style="border-top: 1px solid black; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">
<img src="downred.gif" align="top">
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I used the border-top-command in order to draw that black line. Unfortunately the black line doesn't care about any margin or padding-attributes

There is no break in the black line between the columns.

How can I limit the length of the black border?

Thx for any suggestions in advance...

I've simplified the code a bit...
The problem remains the same:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<body>
<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:400px; position:absolute; top:250px; left:184px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border: 0px 0px 0px 0px;">
<tr>
**** align="left" width="180px" style="padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;">
Home*****>
**** align="left" width="180px" style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">
Home*****>
</tr>

<tr>

<td align="left" width="150px" style="border-top: 1px solid black; padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;">

<td align="left" width="150px" style="border-top: 1px solid black; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;">

Why don't you try emailing me the code and I'll take a look at it, if it still wont post properly? My email should be visible in my profile. If it isn't, PM me and I'll send it to you.

And as for your question (now that I've actually re-read it ), I don't think what you want to do is possible with HTML alone. You probably need a CSS. They are relatively easy to learn and use. If you have any questions about it, ask up here. I have worked with them a lot as my personal site is heavily dependant on them, as are the other sites I have done. And I am sure there are more people even more knowledgable than I am with CSS on here too.
