Add Borders On

Post a Comment
In another post I read that if I need to add borders to every row except the header row I should use THEAD & TBODY. So I have added it to the page, but I cannot find how to app

Solution 1:

You should use CSS for presentation/styling:

tbody {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

JS Fiddle demo.

I'm not sure how new you are, but for completeness:

<head>
    <!-- other stuff -->
    <style type="text/css">

        tbody {
            border: 1px solid #ccc;
        }

    </style>
    <!-- other stuff -->
</head>

You could also use inline styles in the element's opening tag, for example:

<tbody style="border: 1px solid #ccc;">

Preferably, though, you'd link to an external , this goes into the head of the document:

<link href="path/to/.css"  type="text/css" />

Or, if you're targeting those browsers that don't offer the option to style the tbody with a border, you can target specific cells within the tbody using the following:

table {
    margin: 0;
    border-spacing: 0;
}

tbody tr td:first-child {
    border-left: 2px solid #000;
}

tbody tr td:last-child {
    border-right: 2px solid #000;
}

tbody tr:first-child td {
    border-top: 2px solid #000;
}

tbody tr:last-child td {
    border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}

JS Fiddle demo.

This does, of course, require a browser that understands and implements the :last-child and :first-child pseudo-classes.
