css/html Table border - html

I would like to options for making tables in my css. One with a border of 5px solid black and one with 0px. Currently in CSS i have
#contentcolumn table {
border: 5px solid black;
width: 100%;/*around 700 max for images*/
border-collapse: collapse;
}
That gives me the black 5px border, but now i need to also have one that does 0px border.
I have tried setting the 0px table in html but the css seems to over ride it. here is the html for the two tables.
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center"><IMG SRC="images/newsimage/minecraft1.jpg" ALT="mindcraft">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Is minecraft still considered an indie game? blah blah blha lbhalbhal
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- Reviews start -->
<!-- Review #1 -->
<table Border='0'>
<tr>
<th rowspan="4" width="30%">Some Image</th>
<td>Link</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>By who</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Some info</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>comments</td>
</tr>
</table>
both tables are inside div tags <div id="contentcolumn"> if that matters?

Try to give border:none into style attribute. It will overwrite your css properties in css file. <table style="border:none;">

CSS:
.no-border {
border:none;
}
HTML:
<table class="no-border"></table>

You can done this using css itself. By using below css style
#contentcolumn #review_table{border:0px}
and add a id in your table like below
<div id="contentcolumn">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center"><IMG SRC="images/newsimage/minecraft1.jpg" ALT="mindcraft">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Is minecraft still considered an indie game? blah blah blha lbhalbhal
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- Reviews start -->
<!-- Review #1 -->
<table Border='0' id="review_table"> //CHANGE: ADD THE ID TO THIS TABLE
<tr>
<th rowspan="4" width="30%">Some Image</th>
<td>Link</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>By who</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Some info</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>comments</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

How to make table with rowspan

I want to make table like this. A has 5row and B has 2.5row. I show another question about rowspan vlaue have to be integer. So I tried to revise totalrow is 6 and A is 6row , B is 3row, C is 1row and one is 2row. But I can't do like this image. If you can solve it, please talk to me.
Here's a basic example for you. You add the rowspan to the TD Tag and then on the subsequent rows, you have 1 less TD tag
table, tr, td { border:1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse }
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">Row Span 2</td>
<td>Normal Column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Normal Column</td>
</tr>
</table>
EDIT - Taking into account the fact that column B is 2.5 rows tall, and after review of the other answer, here is complete method, which uses both an extra table and rowspan
table, tr, td { border:1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse }
<html>
<body>
<table border=1 width=100% height=100%>
<tr>
<td rowspan="5">A</td>
<td rowspan="5" height=100%>
<table border=1 width=100% height="100%">
<tr>
<td>B1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>B2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>C1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C5</td>
</tr>
</table>

Slightly complicated HTML table with merged rows

I have the following table:
Comm Layer
Implemented By
Application
Application
Transport
OS
Internet
OS
Link
OS
Link
Hardware
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Comm Layer</th>
<th>Implemented By</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Application</td>
<td>Application</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Transport</td>
<td>OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Internet</td>
<td>OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Link</td>
<td>OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Link</td>
<td>Hardware</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I would like to merge the two cells that say "Link" and the three cells that say "OS". I tried using the rowspan attribute in several ways but to no avail. I was able to merge either the two "Link" cells or the three "OS" cells, but not both.
In short: you cannot have a <tr> where all cells participate in a rowspan="" because that creates a zero-height row (as there's no row-specific content). I feel this is a design flaw in HTML.
One workaround is to have a zero-width column that always has non-rowspan="" cells (which are propped up with , but hidden (using visibility: hidden;, not display: none;):
(My posted code comments out the removed cells with <!--<td>OS</td>--> for illustrative purposes, obviously you can remove those in your final version)
table {
border: 1px solid #999;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
border: 1px solid #999;
}
tr > *:nth-child(1) { visibility: hidden; }
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th>
<th>Comm Layer</th>
<th>Jurisdiction</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>Application</td>
<td>Application</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>Transport</td>
<td rowspan="3">OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>Internet</td>
<!--<td>OS</td>-->
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="2">Link</td>
<!--<td>OS</td>-->
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<!--<td>Link</td>-->
<td>Hardware</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
There's probably improvements using more modern CSS techniques to enforce a minimum row height though - I've been using the technique since before I stopped using Dreamweaver in 2004.
<!-- Try this one -->
<table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellspadding=="0">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Comm Layer</th>
<th>Jurisdiction</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Application</td>
<td>Application</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Transport</td>
<td rowspan="2">OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Internet</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">Link</td>
<td>OS</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hardware</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

How can I change the color of text in HTML table?

I need to do a project in school but we have to follow set example. How can I change text color in a table?
I have already tried many things but they only work with CSS or HTML5.
<center><table bgcolor="black" color="yellow" border =2 cell pading=30 cell spacing=10 >
You try this way:
<table style="color: yellow;" bgcolor="black">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
This is good to know that center tag obsoleted.
With plain HTML you would use an old and deprecated tag <font> as also you're using <center> which is also obsolete, but without CSS nor HTML5 ...
Here's how it'd look like :
<center>
<table bgcolor="black" color="yellow" border =2 cell pading=30 cell spacing=10 >
<tr>
<td>
<span>
<font color="yellow"> Testing</font>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
you can set style for your table:
table {
color: yellow;
background-color: black;
}
table td, th {
padding: 30px;
border: 1px solid white;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Targetting <th> element within the first occurence of Table within document

I'm trying to solve a specific problem with CSS selectors. I have the foillowing HTML:
<table class="Layout">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="Region">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th align="left">Header 1</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="SelectionTable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td><td>Text 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
<td valign="top"></td>
<td valign="top">
<table class="Region">
<tr>
<th align="left" colspan="2">Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td><td>Text 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I need to do is select the first occurence of the class "Region" within the document, and then select the th element, which contains the text "Header 1" (there will only be 1 th element within these tables). My reason for this is so i can apply a background color to this element.
I currently have this css which applies background color to the th elements of the two "Region" tables:
TABLE.Region TH {background-color: #00A5DB;}
But I want to apply background-color: #BAD80A to only the first occurence of "Region"
I know I can achieve this using javascript and I know this is an old way of arranging elements on a page, but this is a change to a company intranet with many pages, so changing just the style sheet would be by far the quickest way of acheiving this, as I don't really have the time to make sweeping changes at the moment! We use IE11 as our main browser, so the answer can be quite specific if necessary.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You can use the first-child psuedo-selector on the td and then target the th inside .region.
Here's a demo:
td:first-child .Region th {
background-color: red;
}
<table class="Layout">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="Region">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th align="left">Header 1</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="SelectionTable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td>
<td>Text 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
<td valign="top"></td>
<td valign="top">
<table class="Region">
<tr>
<th align="left" colspan="2">Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td>
<td>Text 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
/*Both work fine*/
table.Layout td:first-child th{
background: #555;
}
td:first-child th{
background: #555;
}

How do you use colspan and rowspan in HTML tables?

I don't know how to merge rows and columns inside HTML tables.
Can you please help me with making such a table in HTML?
If you're confused how table layouts work, they basically start at x=0, y=0 and work their way across. Let's explain with graphics, because they're so much fun!
When you start a table, you make a grid. Your first row and cell will be in the top left corner. Think of it like an array pointer, moving to the right with each incremented value of x, and moving down with each incremented value of y.
For your first row, you're only defining two cells. One spans 2 rows down and one spans 4 columns across. So when you reach the end of your first row, it looks something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
</table>
Now that the row has ended, the "array pointer" jumps down to the next row. Since x position 0 is already taken up by a previous cell, x jumps to position 1 to start filling in cells. * See note about difference between rowspans.
This row has four cells in it which are all 1x1 blocks, filling in the same width of the row above it.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
The next row is all 1x1 cells. But, for example, what if you added an extra cell? Well, it would just pop off the edge to the right.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
* But what if we instead (rather than adding the extra cell) made all these cells have a rowspan of 2? The thing you need to consider here is that even though you're not going to be adding any more cells in the next row, the row still must exist (even though it's an empty row). If you did try to add new cells in the row immediately after, you'd notice that it would start adding them to the end of the bottom row.
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
<td rowspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Enjoy the wonderful world of creating tables!
I'd suggest:
table {
empty-cells: show;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
table td,
table th {
min-width: 2em;
min-height: 2em;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2"></th>
<th colspan="4"> </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>I</th>
<th>II</th>
<th>III</th>
<th>IIII</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
References:
td element.
th element.
tbody element.
thead element.
table element.
If anyone is looking for a rowspan on both the left AND on the right,
here is how you can do it:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">LEFT</td>
<td> 1 </td>
<td> 2 </td>
<td> 3 </td>
<td> 4 </td>
<td rowspan="2">RIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6 </td>
<td> 7 </td>
<td> 8 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Alternatively, if you want to add the LEFT and RIGHT to an existing rowset, you can achieve the same result by throwing them in with a collapsed colspan in between:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">LEFT</td>
<td colspan="4" style="padding: 0; border-bottom: solid 1px transparent;"></td>
<td rowspan="3">RIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 1 </td>
<td> 2 </td>
<td> 3 </td>
<td> 4 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 5 </td>
<td> 6 </td>
<td> 7 </td>
<td> 8 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Use rowspan if you want to extend cells down and colspan to extend across.
You can use rowspan="n" on a td element to make it span n rows, and colspan="m" on a td element to make it span m columns.
Looks like your first td needs a rowspan="2" and the next td needs a colspan="4".
The property you are looking for that first td is rowspan:
http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/html-tutorial/tables/tr_code.htm
<table>
<tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan='4'></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>
<style type="text/css">
table { border:2px black dotted; margin: auto; width: 100%; }
tr { border: 2px red dashed; }
td { border: 1px green solid; }
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">x</td>
<td colspan="4">y</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I</td>
<td>II</td>
<td>III</td>
<td>IV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>nothing</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</table>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I have used ngIf for one of my similar logic. it is as follows:
<table>
<tr *ngFor="let object of objectData; let i= index;">
<td *ngIf="(i%(object.rowSpan))==0" [attr.rowspan]="object.rowSpan">{{object.value}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
here,
i'm getting rowspan value from my model object.
<body>
<table>
<tr><td colspan="2" rowspan="2">1</td><td colspan="4">2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">1</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>3</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
Colspan and Rowspan
A table is divided into rows and each row is divided into cells. In some situations we need the Table Cells span across (or merged) more than one column or row. In these situations we can use Colspan or Rowspan attributes.
Colspan
The colspan attribute defines the number of columns a cell should span (or merge) horizontally. That is, you want to merge two or more Cells in a row into a single Cell.
<td colspan=2 >
How to colspan ?
<html>
<body >
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td colspan=2 >
Merged
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Third Cell
</td>
<td>
Forth Cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Rowspan
The rowspan attribute specifies the number of rows a cell should span vertically. That is , you want to merge two or more Cells in the same column as a single Cell vertically.
<td rowspan=2 >
How to Rowspan ?
<html>
<body >
<table border=1 >
<tr>
<td>
First Cell
</td>
<td rowspan=2 >
Merged
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign=middle>
Third Cell
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
It is similar to your table
<table border=1 width=50%>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">x</td>
<td colspan="4">y</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00 >I</td>
<td>II</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>III</td>
<td>IV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>empty</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td bgcolor=#FFFF00>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
