Rowsep and Colsep attributes to for Cells and Rows

[trailpixie]

I have been having trouble getting table cell borders to display. I have successfuly used the frame and rules attributes on the table element, but those are kind of an all-or-nothing property. I want to be able to control the cell borders on a per-cell basis.  I have read that rowsep and colsep can be used as cell and row attributes, but I haven't been able to get them to actually affect my FrameMaker doc.

I am working in FM10. I am using a modified version of the XHTML app.

I have tried adding the rowsep and colsep attributes to the rules file for td and tr. I have also tried adding the colsep and rowsep attributes to the DTD under the TD element and the TR element.  None of these seems to work.

This is the resulting appearance I am trying to create.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what to try.

thanks

UPDATE:

I managed to get rowsep and colsep to work, but I see that colsep only affects the inner boundaries-a colsep on the last (right-most)column does not create a border on the outside of the table.  I see that is generally reserved for the table frame attribute.

Does anyone have any suggestions for turning on an outside boundary on a cell?
