How to format tables correctly with css
I want the outer borders of my table to be broken and the inner borders to be solid. So I made these css codes for mine normal-table
, but the border of the whole tables is solid.
.zulu-post .zulu-content .normal-table{
color: #444444;
border: 1px dashed #444444;
}
.zulu-post .zulu-content .normal-table td, .normal-table tr{
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #444444;
}
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="normal-table" style="width:500px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Table Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Make sure that Stylesheet Classes is normal-table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text Here...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

This is one way to do what you want:
Basically you add border left and top
to all tags <td>
and then remove the border from the sides of the table and you use the dotted border on <table>
.
.normal-table {
color: #444444;
border: 1px dashed #444444;
}
.normal-table td {
padding: 10px;
border-left: 1px solid #444444;
border-top: 1px solid #444444;
}
.normal-table td:first-child {
border-left: none;
}
.normal-table tr:first-child td {
border-top: none;
}
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" class="normal-table" style="width:500px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Table Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Make sure that Stylesheet Classes is normal-table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text Here...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

1 use border-collpase:collapse
is the collapse
border table border
to single
, then create the style part for table, tbody, tr
, etc.
.normal-table {
border: 2px solid red;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr {
border: 2px dashed red;
}
<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="normal-table" style="width:500px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Table Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Make sure that Stylesheet Classes is normal-table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text Here...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You can use divs as an alternative:
.container {
width: 100%;
border: medium dashed darkgray;
display: table;
}
.cell {
width: 30%;
border: thin solid red;
height: 50px;
display: table-cell;
}
<div class='container'>
<div class='cell'></div>
<div class='cell'></div>
<div class='cell'></div>
</div>
