CSS - Table Border Different Than Cell Border
I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px}
TD {border: 1px solid #ccc}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? Similar TutorialsI'm having some problems with CSS. If you look at the pictures below, the first is a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like. It's how it looks in most browsers. The second one, however, is how it looks in IE 6 on Windows and IE 5 on the Mac. It is wrong. Correct look Incorrect look I want to know how to fix this. The little colored boxes are supposed to be squares and have solid borders on them. The shape is off and the borders are missing on the IE version. Also, on the progress bar, there is not supposed to be space between the cells but there is. There is also space between every cell on the page and there is not supposed to be any. Here is my main CSS: Code:
body { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
a { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; }
a:link { color: #003366; background-color: transparent; }
a:visited { color: #003300; background-color: transparent; }
a:active { color: #339933; background-color: transparent; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
table { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;}
td, th { border: 0px solid black; padding: 5px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; }
tr.one { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
tr.two { background-color: #DDDDDD; }
table.squares { border: 0px; border-spacing: 1px; width: 50px; height: 10px; }
td.square { border: 1px solid grey; padding: 4px; }
td.nopadding { padding: 0px; }
.default { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; }
.h1 { font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;}
.h2 { font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; }
.h3 { font-weight: bold; }
.step { font-size: 150%; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; }
Here is one of the sets of squares: Code: <table class="squares">
<tr>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #CCCC66"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #CC9966"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #990000; border: black"><td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #669966"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #669999"></td>
</tr>
</table>
And finally, here is one of my progress bars: Code: <table style="color: white; width: 100px">
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px; text-align: right; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#222244; width:41px"></td>
<td style="padding:0px; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px; background-color:#666666; width:59px">40.7%</td>
</tr>
</table>
And in case that code is not enough, here is a link to the full HTML. According to this CSS test my CSS is not wrong. So does IE just suck? Is there something I can do to make it work in all browsers? My last question is, should I be using div tags for my boxes and progress bars instead of tables? I couldn't figure out how to make them work with divs so I just went with what I knew. Could someone give me an example of each using divs so I can learn how to make it work? Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers... See code below: Code:

<body style="margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#bbb;">
<br><br>
<center>
1. Load the page.<br>
2. Click Item 4.<br>
3. Click Item 2.<br><br>
Why is the bottom border of the menuelements (table cells) not getting correct in Firefox?<br>
None-active menuelements should have a border-bottom = black, active should have same bottom-border as page.<br>
Notice that I use border-collapse on the table in order to get the cell-border 1px thick between the menuitems.<br>
If I remove border-collapse, then there is no strange behaviour in Firefox.<br>
Any way to get this working in Firefox without breaking it in IE?

Hi there! This might seem really basic but I don't seem to be able to remove the default border from a cell I created. The code looks like this: "<p> </p> <table align="center" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 475px; width: 700px; border-style: hidden;"> <p align="center"> <img height="457" width="600" src="images/stories/vlkommen3.jpg" alt="vlkommen3" style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> How shall I do to hide the border? Thanks in advance! /Kristoffer Can anyone help me out with the following... I'm trying to create a table that, upon hovering a single cell, will increase the border thickness of that one cell, without increasing the thickness of other cells' borders in the same row/column. So far, my attempts have resulted in other table cells also getting increased border thickness, which makes the whole table move. Is there a way to achieve this for just the one cell? Adding border thickness just on the inside of the cell? Many thanks in advance! ZephSev I have a web page shell that loads various content into different cells. The entire page is essentially a table. I have 4 graphic overlays that I want to impose on each cell to round the corners. I've tried doing it this way: CSS: Code: .LeftPanelTable {
WIDTH: 182px;
border-style: none }
.LeftPanelCell {
WIDTH: 160px;
vertical-align: Top;
border-style: none }
.ActionOptionsPanel {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
border-style: none}
#soft_corner_ul {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif") no-repeat top left}
#soft_corner_ur {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ur.gif") no-repeat top right}
#soft_corner_ll {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ll.gif") no-repeat bottom left}
#soft_corner_lr {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_lr.gif") no-repeat bottom right}
HTML: Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable">
<tr>
<td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
<div id="soft_corner_ul"><div id="soft_corner_ur"><div id="soft_corner_ll"><div id="soft_corner_lr">
This is the table cell content
</div></div></div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
However, I still see a faint border around the cell, which spoils the effect of the rounded corners. If I change it like this: Code: .ActionOptionsPanel {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
background-image:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right;
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
border-style: none}
Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable">
<tr>
<td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
This is the table cell content
</td>
</tr>
</table>
then the border doesn't appear, but I don't know any way to do this with more than one image. Suggestions? Thanks... Alright, this is probably a simple fix but I can not find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to highlight a table cell with a 2px solid red border when it is clicked. Is there a way to get this to happen with out changing the size of the cell? I hope this makes sense. Basically the cell is expanding by 1 px causing movement in the table. Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code:
.results {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ;
}
Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! Here's something strange. I'm seeing a problem in IE on Windows. I've built a progress bar using vbscript and css, but the table doesn't quite display the way I want it to. Here's demo code: Code: <html> <body bgcolor="dddddd"> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #000" width="100"> <tr><td id="pct_complete" width="50" bgcolor="black"> </td><td id="pct_remain" width="*" bgcolor="blue"> </td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html> Now I've set the border to collapse, but if you load it up, you'll notice a white line between the two. I think it may be the way ie adds a 3d appearance to the table, but I can't figure out how to overcome it. Any ideas? Thanks! I'm a little puzzled by this weird display bug by IE7, this bug doesn't occur in IE6. It had to do with the DIV's CSS's border-style. If you set it to double then you notice some random bugs with it. Some of the time, the border is displayed without a problem. Some of the time, it is displayed with some gaps in the line as if it is not being drawn upon. Some of the other time, it is not displayed at all. I noticed if I switch from one tab to another then back, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. I also noticed that if I open the view source that overlapp the web browser then closed it, the border appeared as if nothing had happened. How do you fix that problem? Thanks... I have an HTML table that contains a lot of data, so I want to separate the rows and columns with a grid. Nothing out of the ordinary. Basically make it look like an excel spreadsheet. A grid. The basic HTML border=1 property works, but I want to make the border thinner, just 1px, using CSS. I'm very new to CSS though so I don't know how. I tried style="border: 1px solid" but that just makes a border around the outside of the table. I want every cell to be isolated. Any ideas? Thanks. Hi, I am having problem with the following table. It displays red border (#ff0000) around table in Internet explorer. In Firefox red border does not show at all. It is just #ccc. What can I do to have red border displayed in Firefox too? Code:
<table class="maintable">
<tr>
<th scope="col" nowrap>City</th>
<th scope="col">State</th>
<th scope="col">Zipcode</th>
</tr>
<tr><td align="center">London</td>
<td>England</td>
<td>12345</td>
</tr>
<tr><td align="center">Berlin</td>
<td>Germany</td>
<td>6789</td>
</tr>
</table>
.maintable {
line-height: 2.5em;
border: 1px solid #ff0000;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.maintable th, .maintable td { padding: 0 5px; }
.maintable th {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.maintable td {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
Thank you just getting into the css world for real, and im using it for the borders of a table: border:1px solid #000000; except this only does the outside border of the table, and not the borders for the rows/columns do i need to have another .cell in my css to get each one to work? with border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; in css i got border only around the table I want the border to surround every cell of the table as it is with <table border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" > how? Hi, I am making a website for my friend that lost her myspace acount becuase of here small uncle. So I want to make a website for her that is simmular to myspace. So my question is: How do I add in text up the top in the border that is 15xp? Thank you. Hello: I am building a ecommerce site, there are featured product on frontpage, I want to make a square border for each product, I have done top border and bottom border, but I don't know how to make the vertical lines on the right and left to make a nice square border with rounded corner the html structure is as followings table-----for the top border table-----to display product image and price, all that table-----for the bottom border I know by putting in css code for the middle table will be able to close this border could anyone tell me how? I am having two problems with my tables right now: Within the style sheet, I have the following: table { border: thin #0000CC; } If I am not mistaken, this should make all tables that have a border of 1 or greater to automatically be thin and blue. This is not working... Why not? D Hi I'm sure this is an easy one, but I can't figure out how to create a table style sheet that does exactly what the following html does Code: <table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="blue"> <tr> <td bgcolor="yellow"></td> </tr> </table> I tried many different variations using the table-specific keys documented here but am unable to achieve the above effect. What's happening is that the yellow background of the "td.outlineCollapsed" style (below) has a 1 pixel inset on all sides from the edges of the "table.outlineBase" style box. With the html, by contrast, the yellow background of the <td> exactly overlaps the blue background of the containing table. The exact overlap is what I'm trying to acheive. Could someone take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Ken Here's the css: Code:
table.outlineBase {
background-color: #888888;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
/*
tried all of the following in many
different combinations. Nothing worked.
border-style: hidden;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0px;
border: outset 0px;
border-spacing: 0px;
border: inset 0px;
*/
}
table.outlineBase:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
td.outlineCollapsed {
background-color: yellow;
width: 25px;
height: 20px;
}
I have a problem with applying a style for tableborders that is needed at the client I work at. The client works with IE6 / IE7 only. In a portlet (JSF) content is loaded into a table that is automatically generated on the basis of CSS. The "house-style" in this company for using tables is set to the following: - The outer borders for the table are not visible - The border under the top-row is orange (#F60) - The borders under all other rows are grey (#808080) - The vertical borders are all orange (#F60) An example of what I mean is seen here (sketch from MS paint, poor quality and wrong colors!!!) : URL Anyone with suggestions on how to tackle this? I have found one solution that seems to work, but as soon as I change it (size, nr of rows etc) the right border shows again. I do not fully understand the code and there are no comments added.

Hello, I got a website with a table on it. This is how it looks in firefox 2.0: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9822/helpffkr6.jpg And here's how it looks in IE6: http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/9675/helpiehi7.jpg As you can see, where FF do display the table border, IE does not. Here's the simplified table code and the related css code: Table -> Code: <table class="listings" style="width: 100%;"> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="darkRow">Category 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 30%" class="lightRow">Thread 1</td> <td style="width: 70%" class="lightRow">This is thread number 1.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 30%" class="lightRow">Thread 2</td> <td style="width: 70%" class="lightRow">This is thread number 2.</td> </tr> </table> CSS code -> Code: <style type="text/css">
table.listings{
border-collapse: collapse;
border-style: none;
}
table.listings tr{
border-style: solid;
border-color: #4D3D4D;
border-width: 1px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.darkRow{
background-color: #4D3D4D;
border-color: #4D3D4D;
color: white;
padding-left: 4px
}
.lightRow{
background-color: #BFACBF;
border-color: #4D3D4D;
color: #4D3D4D;
padding-left: 4px;
}
</style>
It seems as if IE doesnt support borders around a whole row, because when i add this: Code: table.listings td{
border-style: solid;
border-color: #4D3D4D;
border-width: 1px;
vertical-align: top;
}
With that also IE displays a border but not only around the whole row, but around all the cells individually, which is not my intention. Does anybody have an idea what i can do about this? thanks in advance. Hi there, Everyone: Firstly, I am a CSS noob... My site is: wwwDOTincenseforpeaceDOTcom (change the word DOT to a . please, new users are not allowed to post URLs on this forum. Thanks) I have a red background gif on my site. In firefox, it looks great. It DOESN'T show through the cell borders of the main table. However, it is showing through the cell borders of a table in Internet Explorer (at least IE 8, haven't checked with earlier versions of IE). Any idea on how to get it to stop showing through on IE? This is what I THINK is the main table CSS (I told you I am a noob when it comes to CSS). #content-container{ clear:both; width:100%; border-style:solid; border-color:#666666; border-spacing:0; border-width:0 0; /* was border-width:1px 0; before */ padding:0 0 0 0; margin:0; /* ie6 min-height hack */ height:270px; max-height:270px !important; Thanks in advance. |
