A table has the following attributes and associated CSS:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" class="noborder">
.noborder { border: 0px; }
Yet it displays with a white border of 1px. Google Chrome Inspector shows there is an associated style in a "user agent stylesheet", with CSS of:
table { display: table; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing:
2px; border-color: gray; }
but this is not a white border. What CSS is generating the white border?
This CSS rule in your style.css is making the border
th,td {
border: 1px solid;
padding: 8px;
}

I'm trying to use external css to format a 3-column table with 100% width and column widths of 10%, 80%, and 10% respectively. All my td attributes work from the external stylesheet except width.
<td style="width:10%">
works in inline css, but not as an internal style or from the external stylesheet.
It will read td widths from the external css if I remove the 100% width attribute from the table, but then the width of my table changes depending on the amount of text in it.
I have tried using
table-layout: fixed;
with no success. I've also tried removing width from one column at a time with no effect. All the examples I can find use pixels instead of % widths.
Have I missed something simple about table design?
Here's the relevant part of my external css:
table.border td {
border-width: 5px;
padding: 10px;
border-style: ridge;
border-color: white;
border-collapse: collapse;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
}
td.edge {
background-color: green;
width: 10%;
}
td.center{
width: 80%;
background-color: pink;
}
and here's the table's html:
<table class="border" >
<tr>
<td class="edge"> hi there</td>
<td class="center">it's me</td>
<td class="edge"> bye there</td>
</tr>
</table>
The table it gives me has a wide first column and narrow second and third columns.
Correct the CSS as follows (just removing "td" from this line: "table.border td") and it will work as expected:
table.border{
border-width: 5px;
padding: 10px;
border-style: ridge;
border-color: white;
border-collapse: collapse;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
}
td.edge {
background-color: green;
width: 10%;
}
td.center{
width: 80%;
background-color: pink;
}
This is jsfiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/r281bv1z/
Hope this may help.
I applied the below table border to all of the tables on my site
table {
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
}
th, td{
border: 1px solid #999;
How do I do no border on some of the tables while keeping the border on the others?
You can target elements with a specific class or id to style:
#tableOne {
border: none;
}
.borderlessTable {
border: none;
}
Alternatively you could do it the other way around and add the border to tables with a specific class/id.
I have a simple html table like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd first-row"><td>Value 1</td><td>Value 2</td></tr>
<tr class="even"><td>Value 3</td><td>Value 4</td></tr>
<tr class="odd"><td>Value 5</td><td>Value 6</td></tr>
<tr class="even last-row"><td>Value 7</td><td>Value 8</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
And I would like to style it the following way:
header row with a box-shadow
whitespace between the header row and the first body row
I have tried different things:
table {
/* collapsed, because the bottom shadow on thead tr is hidden otherwise */
border-collapse: collapse;
}
/* Shadow on the header row*/
thead tr { box-shadow: 0 1px 10px #000000; }
/* Background colors defined on table cells */
th { background-color: #ccc; }
tr.even td { background-color: yellow; }
tr.odd td { background-color: orange; }
/* I would like spacing between thead tr and tr.first-row */
tr.first-row {
/* This doesn't work because of border-collapse */
/*border-top: 2em solid white;*/
}
tr.first-row td {
/* This doesn't work because of border-collapse */
/*border-top: 2em solid white;*/
/* This doesn't work because of the td background-color */
/*padding-top: 2em;*/
/* Margin is not a valid property on table cells */
/*margin-top: 2em;*/
}

Does anyone have any tips on how I could do this? Or achieve the same visual effect (i.e. bod-shadow + spacing)?
I think I have it in this fiddle and I updated yours:
tbody:before {
content: "-";
display: block;
line-height: 1em;
color: transparent;
}
EDIT better & simpler:
tbody:before {
content:"#";
display:block;
line-height:10px;
text-indent:-99999px;
}
This way text is really invisible
Moreover you can use Zero-Width Non-Joiner to minimize sinsedrix CSS:
tbody:before {line-height:1em; content:"\200C"; display:block;}
This will give you some white space between the header and table content
thead tr {
border-bottom: 10px solid white;
}
Although setting the border colour is a bit of a cheat method, it will work fine.
Form investigation, you can't set box-shadow to a table row, but you can to table cells:
th {
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 0px #000000 ;
}
(I'm not sure how you want the shadow to look like, so just adjust the above.)
This worked for me on Chrome (for other browsers I don't know).
.theTargethead::after
{
content: "";
display: block;
height: 1.5em;
width: 100%;
background: white;
}
Such css code creates an empty white space between the thead and the tbody of the table.
If I set the background to transparent, the first column of the above tr > th elements shows its own color (green in my case) making about the first 1 cm of the ::after element green too.
Also using the "-" sign in the row content : "-"; instead of the empty string "" can create problems when exporting the printed pages to file, i.e. pdf. Of course this is parser/exporter dependent.
Such exported file opened with a pdf editor (for ex.: Ms word, Ms Excel, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Adobe Acrobat Pro) could still contain the minus sign. The empty string doesn't have the same issue.
No problems in both cases if the printed html table is exported as image: nothing is rendered.
I didn't notice any issue even using
content : "\200C";
So box-shadow doesn't work well on the tr element... but it does work on a pseudo content element; sinsedrix put me on the right track and this is what I ended up with:
table {
position: relative;
}
td,th {padding: .5em 1em;}
tr.even td { background-color: yellow; }
tr.odd td { background-color: orange; }
thead th:first-child:before {
content: "-";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1;
box-shadow: 0 1px 10px #000000;
padding: .75em 0;
background-color: #ccc;
color: #ccc;
}
thead th {
padding-bottom: 2em;
}
While all the solutions above are great, the result is inconsistent across browsers, so I figured out a better way to do it based on my heinous experience with email templates.
Just add a dummy tbody in-between the actual tbody and the thead, nested in the dummy tbody should be a td with height set to the desired spacing. Example below
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
// Dummy tbody
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="h-5"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
// Actual tbody
<tbody class="rounded shadow-outline">
<tr v-for="(tableRow, i) in tableBody" :key="`tableRow-${i}`">
<td v-for="tableRowItem in tableRow" :key="tableRowItem" class="table-body">
{{ tableRowItem }}
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
This should do the trick:
table {
position: relative;
}
thead th {
// your box shadow here
}
tbody td {
position: relative;
top: 2rem; // or whatever space you want between the thead th and tbody td
}
And this should play nice with most browsers.
No sure why the borders are not displaying correctly. I tried:
/* ------ global ------ */
body {
margin: 0 auto;
padding:0 0;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align:center;
color:#000;
}
/* ------ Content Wrapper ------ */
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width:760px;
text-align:left;
}
#content table {
font-size:.8em;
border-collapse:collapse;
text-align:left;
width:100%;
}
#content table td {
border:solid 1px black;
}
Do I need to list all the CSS border properties to get the borders on the whole table, like this:
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-left: 1px solid #000;
or more ......
I haven't done this yet, but I have had to do this in the past with some tables to get the borders on all sides for lte IE7. It was just as a last resort since I didn't know what else to do.
Consider the following jsFiddle, which works correctly in IE7 by showing a 1 pixel solid black border on table cells.
I didn't change any of your code, but added a rule to include borders on table header cells table th as well as table data cells table td.
HTML:
<div id="content">
<table>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Column</th>
<th scope="col">Column</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell</td>
<td>Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
CSS:
#content table {
font-size: 0.8em;
border-collapse: collapse;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
}
#content table th,
#content table td {
border: solid 1px black;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
If your table cells still aren't showing any borders, you might have one or more rules in your stylesheet that appear later — or have more CSS Specificity — that are overriding your styles.
Try using border-collapse:separate for IE7 like this:
#content table {
font-size:.8em;
border-collapse:collapse;
text-align:left;
width:100%;
*border-collapse:separate;
}
apply border-collapse: collapse to the table, it should fix it :)
I want to use CSS to set a color of the outer border of the table ...
Then the inner cells would have different border color ...
I created something like this :
table {
border-collapse:collapse;
border: 1px solid black;
}
table td {
border: 1px solid red;
}
Problem is, the table's color change and become red as you can see here : http://jsfiddle.net/JaF5h/
If the border width of the table is increased to be 2px it will work : http://jsfiddle.net/rYCrp/
I've been dealing with CSS and cross browsers issues for so long ... This is the first time I face something like that and I am totally stuck ... No idea what to do!
Any one knows how to get that fixed with border-width:1px ?
I would acheive this by using adjacent selectors, like so:
table {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
tr {
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
tr + tr {
border-top: 1px solid red;
}
td {
border-left: 1px solid #000;
}
td + td {
border-left: 1px solid red;
}
It's a little bit repetitive, but it acheives the effect you're after by setting the top and left borders of the first row and column respectively, then overwriting the 'internal' rows and cells with red.
This won't of course work in IE6 as it doesn't understand the adjacent selectors.
http://jsfiddle.net/JaF5h/36/
Try this:
tbody { display:block; margin: -1px; }
The previous answers didn't fully resolve this for me. The accepted answer allows the internal borders to overlap the outer table border. After some experimentation I came up with the following solution.
By setting the table collapse style to separate the internal borders do not overlap the outer. From there the extra and doubled borders are eliminated.
HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
CSS
table {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid red;
}
table tr td {
border-right: 0;
}
table tr:last-child td {
border-bottom: 0;
}
table tr td:first-child,
table tr th:first-child {
border-left: 0;
}
table tr td{
border-top: 0;
}

Create a div surrounding your table. Set the div border color for the outside of your table. DO NOT border-collapse your table. Instead, let your cells separate to show the (inner borders) background color of the div beneath. Then set the background cells to the background color of your choice.
HTML:
<div id="tableDiv">
<table id="studentInformationTable">
<!-- Add your rows, headers, and cells here -->
</table>
</div>
CSS:
#tableDiv {
margin-left: 40px;
margin-right: 40px;
border: 2px solid brown;
background-color: white;
}
table {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border-color: brown;
}
td, th {
background-color: #e7e1d3;
padding: 10px 25px 10px 25px;
margin: 0px;
}
Try the following it worked for me:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border: solid #000;
}
table td {
border: 1px solid red;
}
