You probably needn't bother with CSS for this. I saw the table in question.
Have you looked at the standard attribute for tables in HTML? Have you bound
your table to the class table1 or menu at all? There is nothing too
sophisticated in the styles. There is also excess in terms of the number of
repeated declarations and attributes. Put the style in your header or within
a peripheral CSS file (link to it). You only need to make use of the classes
then (class="foo").
Best wishes,
Roy
PS - Try to learn HTML and be inspired by sites of higher quality. You might
adopt some bad habits or reflect badly on your site if you borrow code and
examples from the wrong places.
