non-floating border, div borders Options

[cpanon]

Hello
I have a div around a table that has explicit widths. When I apply this:
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #0000ff;
border-style: solid;
to the div the border floats with the resizing of the browser. How can I get the table to obey the explicit total width and the summation of the <td> widths so the border will only enclose the area and not float? tia.

Apply the border to the table instead of the div.
Or give the div explicit width.

Do you mean you want the DIV to shrink to fit the table's width? That can be done by floating the DIV (and then clearing the content following).

But a DIV containing only a table makes little sense, so instead I echo jimlongo's suggestion.
