CSS - Can Css Set Custom Borders For A Table? (<table>)
Hi all, what i want is to customise the borders of a table...
i know that <div>'s can have custom borders but, for the way that the page works i used table tags <table>. (very little experience of using <div>) is there a way that css can manipulate the borders of a table? i tried using this css: .nmhead { border-color:#cccccc; border-top:border-top-style:none; border-left:border-left-style:none; border-right:border-right-style:double; border-bottom:border-bottom-width:5px; } and then in the table doing this: <td class='nmhead'> but it didnt work (attached is what i want it to look like) any ideas? Similar TutorialsI'd like to have a class in my style sheet that gives a table a 1 px border, something like this: Quote: <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="100%">test</td> </tr> </table> But I'm unsure how to do it. I am learning CSS and wish to put a border around selected tables using the following code: table.sidebar { border: 2px black; padding: 50px } Something similar to this code was working OK earlier today, but now it won't. The cell padding command works, but other tags like border, width, etc., are not. I have tried disabling all other table styles in the CSS. Any ideas? I am using MS FrontPage 2002. Also, whys is it that when I apply a style to a table, like the one above, FrontPage puts in the following HTML code: <table class="sidebar" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> If I go to remove it to <table class="sidebar"> all of the formatting is lost. Seems like this is defeating the whole purpose of CSS Thanks, Keith While styling table I would like to have black row border all the way, but currently cell borders (grey) overlay them (1px, but still) - like in the image: Bellow is my css. What do I change? Thanks. Code: .list_f { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #F1EFE2; border-collapse: collapse; empty-cells: show; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; } .list_f th { text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; background-color:#F3F3F3; margin: 0px; padding: 2px; /* text-align: left;*/ vertical-align:middle; height:22px; border-collapse: collapse; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #CCCCCC; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #CCCCCC; } .list_f td { margin: 0px; padding: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; vertical-align:middle; height:22px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #EBEBEB; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #EBEBEB; } .list_f tr { border-top-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; } I am trying to make a nice thin border around a table and all the table cells. It need to work on both windows and macs... If I add this to my table tag [ style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#808080" ] it give me a nice border in IE, but not so great on a mac (big and thick). I also want to be able to add it into a style sheet and just add the style tag to the table, but I can't seem to get any of it to work. Anyone have any examples or advice? Thanks! I have a page that is generated with php and contains several page breaks with multiple tables in between. The borders of the tables are generated with Quote: TABLE { BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; } and are needed in odd pages. The even pages tables don't need borders at all. How do I handle this? I tried generating another css file with the BORDER values to be 0px but it didn't work. Any ideas? Evan Hi all, http://www.zitrote.com/forum/index.php?act=viewforum&f=4 if you see there in IE the two borders on the right dont appear in the topic listing but in FF they do?? Hey guys. At the moment i have made a 100% colored table. What i am trying to do is add a 1px colored border to the top of the table and a 2px colored border to the bottom of the table. Ive tried several different approaches but i never get the result i am looking for. Can anyone help me out with this? Here is my code: Quote: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr bgcolor="#000033"> <td align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><b><font color="#FFFFFF"> <a name="top">Tiffany and Co Neckless and Braclet Set</a></font></b></font></td> </tr> James Okay, I have a table and I can center it using css, and I can turn on the outside border, but I cannot seem to turn on the row borders. How do I do this. I tried.style="border:5px outset #a0a0a0; margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; margin-top:15%;" which works for the outside border and centering, but to turn on the inside cell row borders I had to use border="3" and then I am unable to center the table on the page no matter what I do. How do I center this table properly using css with both outside border and the row border turned on. Hi, I have a HTML page linking to a CSS file in the header. My main table is defined using class="formBody". This includes: Code: table.formBody td { border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; border-style: solid solid solid solid; border-color: black black black black; background-color: white; -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } I need to override this on certain cells, so that a SINGLE certain cell will not have any borders (these will be cells on the bottom row, so the table will have the appearance of having half of its' actual width on the bottom row). Any ideas? I tried explicitly setting border="0" in the <td> tag and also defining a new class called "noborder" with border set to none, and then using <td class="noborder"> but neither of these work. essentially, what I want, is a table that looks like: Code: ________________________ | | | | ------------------------ |________| Any suggestions on how to do this? Hello, I am working on a site and want to put a thin black line border on individual cells in a table with out putting a border on the whole table. Im not very experienced with css and would perfer to keep it simple. any info will help thanks Nick Carlevaris 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. I'd like to do something like this: Quote: <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#666666" width="100%"> <tr> <td>Test</td> </tr> </table> But I don't want to use an inline style tag. I tried this: Quote: <html> <head> <style> .border { border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="border" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td>Test</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> But it does not work. What am I doing wrong? as seen in this forum when posting a message, i was wondering how they get it so that the title of a section appears inside the border? example: ------ Title here --------------------| | | | bit of content | | | | | ------------------------------------- Hello all, I've been over at ALA and I came across this nice example on custom Borders and Corners and I've been playing with it but I'm still too green to get the effect I want. Basicaly, I just want to get ride of the footer text section and allow the main body section to streach all the way into the footer. If I just delete the footer text, it leaves an offely large gap between the main content and the bottom of the 'box'. So, how would I go about editing this example to not include a footer section, but still retain the bottom of the 'box'? Thanks for any help! Cheers, Fozzy I started using custom borders after seeing ALA's article on custom borders, but I'm running into a problem. If the overall width of the article isn't over 300px, then it doesn't bridge all the way, but I'm not wanting 300px width. Is there any way to eleminate the gap at the bottom. BTW, it's not just an IE thing, it's doing that in FF, and Opera too. Here's my code: Code: div.Article { background: url(images/menu/topleft.jpg) top left no-repeat; } div.Article h2 { background: url(images/menu/topright.jpg) top right no-repeat; font-size:1.3em; padding:15px; margin:0; color: #000; } div.ArticleBody { background: url(images/menu/right.jpg) top right repeat-y; margin:0; margin-top:-2em; padding:15px; } div.ArticleFooter { background: url(images/menu/bottomleft.jpg) bottom left no-repeat; } div.ArticleFooter p { background: url(images/menu/bottomright.jpg) bottom right no-repeat; display:block; padding:15px; margin:-2em 0 0 0; } HTML too: Code: <div class="Article" style="width: 210;"> <h2><b>Menu</b></h2> <div align="center"> <div class="ArticleBody"> <p>Text</p> </div> <div class="ArticleFooter"> <p style="color: #000;"> A paragraph containing author information </p> </div> </div> </div> Thanks, Marty J. I have a table that is populated using Spry. For some of the users, the table is showing its' borders in white when there is no data in the cell and for other users (like me) it's showing its' borders in black like expected. This is occurring in IE8 for the user. I have IE8 as well. Here is a setup of my table Code: <div id="Content"> <p class='instructions'>Click a column header to sort the table.</p> <div spry:region="jdmba"> <div spry:state="loading" class="loading">Please wait while alumni data loads…</div> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th scope="col" width="108px" class="sortable" spry:sort="last" id="last">Last Name</th> <th scope="col" width="106px" class="sortable" spry:sort="first" id="first">First Name</th> <th scope="col" width="269px" class="sortable" spry:sort="account" id="account">Company</th> <th scope="col" width="66px" class="sortable" spry:sort="state" id="state">State</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hls_year" id="hls_year">JD</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hbs_year" id="hbs_year">MBA</th> </tr> </table> <div class="Overload"> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr spry:repeat="jdmba" spry:setrow="jdmba" spry:odd="odd" spry:even="even" spry:hover="hover" > <td width="108px">{last}</td> <td width="106px">{first}</td> <td width="269px">{account}</td> <td width="66px">{state}</td> <td width="82px">{hls_year}</td> <td width="82px">{hbs_year}</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> Here is my CSS file Code: a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #News a:link { color: #00F; } #News a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } body { background: #000 repeat; } #wrap { background: #000; width: 900px; border: thick solid #9C0029; float: left; height: auto; padding: 0px 0px 1em; margin-top: 2%; margin-left: 10%; } #footer { font: bold small/50px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFF; background: #9C0029; text-align: center; height: 50px; width: 850px; margin-left: 25px; } #Header { background: #8F001C url(../images/banner.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 850px; height: 150px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 25px; } h1 { font: normal 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000; text-align: left; } h2 { font: small Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333; text-align: justify; } h3 { font: normal medium "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FFF; } h4 { font-size: small; color: #333; text-align: left; } .banners { background: #FFF0B2; width: auto; height: auto; font: 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .5em; text-indent: 10px; } .Content { font: 14px/normal Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-align: justify; display: block; padding: 2em 3em 3em; } .Content a:link { color: #00F; } .Content a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } .Content a:visited { color: #00F; } #inner_body { background: #FFF; height: auto; width: 800px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 50px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: .5em; } #inner_border { margin: 0em auto auto; border: thin solid #8E887C; width: 775px; padding: 1em 0em 0em; } #nav_bar { height: 3em; width: 100%; margin-left: 0%; text-align: center; } #Content { height: auto; width: 95%; padding: 0em 0% 5em; margin: 2.5% 2.55% 2%; text-align: left; font-family: Verdana; } #nav { height: auto; width: 20em; } #News { margin-left: 2px; height: 30%; background: #FFF0B2; padding: 3%; } #News a:visited { color: #00F; } .Overload { height: 208px; overflow: auto; } .odd { background-color: #E8E8E8; } .even { background-color: #E8E8E8;} .hover { background-color: #FFC;} table.spry { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; } .instructions { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom:8px; } .loading { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8px; color:#900; } table.spry th { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry td { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry th.sortable:hover { cursor: pointer; } table.spry th.sortable { text-align:left; color:#FFFFFF; background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/bg.gif) no-repeat 95% 6px; } table.spry th.ascending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarUpHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } table.spry th.descending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } I'm only placing borders on the left and bottom so that in my detail cells the borders aren't doubled up. So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. Any ideas? Thanks! I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description. If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages design. What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line break after the width of the table is reached??? There is a solution that I put a div in td and then Code: #desc { width:"100%"; width::fixed; overflow:scroll;} but it is not exactly what I want hi every one... How can I display static headers in a table, so that headers remain visible while user scrolls the table body? This is not working in IE 7 any working example please 2. iam having a column which holds data around some 100 to 200 characters... by default i want to display some 50 characters and rest of the characters can be viewed by moving the column... if this is possible let me know how to do it with some sample code......i dont know much about CSS 3. One more problem iam facing is with the number of columns displayed in the table. I have to display around 15 to 20 columns in a table... with this 15 to 20 columns in a table, i can see scrollbar to the page ....but i dont want scrollbar to the page, instead i want want scroll bar to the table (so that it doesnot effect the design of the page) I need a fixed table width and height and also fixed column width and height..... Note: I dont mind if columns are not visible (thru scrool bar i should see the hide columns) 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. I'm trying to get a table inside another table which completely fills the parent table, but I cannot get it to work. The simple piece of code illustrates my problem. The red table is inside the blue table but does not cover the entire cell from top to bottom, but only the centre. I want this table to be streched. Obviously height: 100% doesn't work. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <body> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> 1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br> </td> <td style="background: blue;"> <table style="height: 100%; background: red;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: bottom"> Test </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html> |
