That's how cell selection looks in MS Excel:
Is it possible to have the similar border in regular HTML <table> so that the border overlaps near cells (if you look closely you'll see that the border is extended for about 1px each side over near cells)?
Yes, to a certain extent. I've only tested in Chrome, but this works: http://jsfiddle.net/q4Lcc/
td {
width: 120px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid gray;
}
td#test_td {
border: 3px solid black;
}
I don't know of a way to do it purely with tables, but one approach would be to use another div or text input that gets absolutely positioned over the table of data.
Here's a live example: http://jsbin.com/edehoc
I personally like this approach because it lets you use a familiar form element that has an expected style when it gains focus.

I have an HTML page for my code and a CSS page for all my classes/styling, but my div class is not applying to my div code.
It's weird because all of my other div classes are fine, but it's just this one.
My code is simple:
<div class="box">
</div>
And my class is also fairly simple:
.box {
border-right: 10px solid black;
border-left: 10px solid black;
border-top: 10px solid black;
border-bottom: 10px solid black;
}
It is probably a simple rookie mistake as I am new to this, but as I said, all the other classes work fine and they are the same as this.
Also, I tried putting the class in the HTML file itself, in [style], and it worked perfectly. I just wanted to know why it wasn't working when it was in another file when everything else was.
You must specify the width and height of the div. Because of that, it isn't showing the borders. Or, you can put some content inside your div, and after that, it will show the borders.
And a little advice: you don't have to type style for all border sides especially. You can just say: border: 10px solid black; and it will be applied to all sides of the box.
You need to add some content to your div, or give a height to your div. If not, you will not be able to see your div and the border styles that you added.
In addition, you can make your code more efficient since all 4 border sides are the same styles. You can just use the following styling:
.box {
border: solid 10px black
}
So, after a bit more googling, I discovered it was as simple as doing shift + f5 to do a complete cache refresh. Turns out, if you have a completely separate file for all your CSS classes, it doesn't update the cache automatically.
I am trying to fix a couple of problems when you view this web page in IE7.
(the web page looks great in iE8 and iE9)
I have uploaded the single web page onto a test site:
http://www.jrdesign-website.co.uk/bar_menu/bar_menu.html
When the page has loaded, scroll down to view. You will see the prices on the right hand side. The small duplicated full stops should line up with the prices and food description.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
SO your code has a with the dots underline on it as a repeating background and within that there is a wrapper div floated left with the food item name and nested within a that a class .bar_font_bold_med which is 'float: right'.
Two possible ways of getting to a solution.
1\ Why not have the price i.e. the in its own instead. That will sort out the positioned-on-the right goal. It will also allow you to use or middle or top etc on the price to independently adjust its vertical position in relation to the food item. Also use CSS to supply the dotted underline. Eg consider using a border-style on the lefthand thus.
border-bottom: 5px dotted #fff
How you attach the style is up to you. Perhaps a CSS classname on the relevant s is the best way i.e.
<td align="left" width="565" height="xxx"
bgcolor="#000000" background="images/yellow_dot.jpg"
... becomes...
<td class="foodItemCol" height="xxx">
...and you have the CSS styles
.foodItemCol {
border-bottom: 5px dotted #ffffff;
width: 565px;
background-color: #000000;
}
Or if you go with my suggestion of having another for the price then use this CSS selelector which means you will not have to bother adding a classname
#bar_menu_text table td {
border-bottom: 5px dotted #ffffff;
width: 565px;
background-color: #000000;
}
#bar_menu_text table td + td {
border-bottom: none;
width: auto;
background-color: #000000;
}
What the second style selector is saying where the second or subsequent sibling appears after the first then overwrite the styles that where applied in the '#bar_menu_text table td' rule above i.e. so the price column does not have a dotted underline.
PS You have used a WYSIWYG editor to generate the code for this page haven't you? I have modified my answer baring that in mind as I guess you aren't used to coding HTML /CSS by hand.
PPS you don't need the z-index:5 or any z-index's at all whatsoever...they are only useful when the element the are applied to is position: relative or position: absolute etc.
How do I cleanly style a HTML + CSS horizontal tab bar so that the tab bar has a line across the bottom that's hidden or suppressed for the active tab?
In other words, I'm trying to do the same thing that StackOverflow does for its tags:
My tab bar is set up as an ordered list with
ul
{
list-style: none;
}
li
{
float: left;
}
Update: I've already poked around sites with Firebug to see how they do it, but I feel like I quickly get bogged down in details. For example, StackOverflow's version has a border for the bottom of the whole div (which makes sense), and a white border for the bottom of the active tab (which makes sense), but then it makes the active tab's border overlap the div's border (and I'm not very clear on how it does that). It looks like Twitter Bootstrap does something similar. I'm trying to understand the general concept of how overlapping part of a container's border with the content's border works instead of copying and tinkering with CSS until I get something that appears to work.
All you need to do is put a bottom border on the <ul> (so that it stretches across) and then give the <li>'s a selected class, and make that one have a 1-pixel higher height.
Here is a very simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/V6gzS/
ok to point you in the right direction use firebug or chromes element inspector and just pick out the bits you need, so on this site for example what you are looking for are called tabs and they are styled like so
#tabs a.youarehere {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom-color: #ffffff;
color: black;
font-size: 120%;
height: 30px;
line-height: 28px;
margin-top: 3px;
padding: 0px 11px 0px 11px;
}
this is just a part of it but you can learn a lot by looking at some code
As I understand it you are capable of making the buttons by yourself, with the horizontal bottom line.
If that is the case, then make sure that this horizontal line is made as a border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC property on each button (the color might be different). At each page you then add the id id="current" to that one button that is the active page. In CSS you write:
#current {
border: solid 1px #CCC;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
If you have any problems it might be solved by adding !important like this:
border-bottom: 1px solid white !important;
Therefore, this is just four extra lines of code in CSS and one extra HTML attribute in each of the files.
If dynamic menu
If you have a menu that is not static on every page, but maybe dynamically generated or placed in an included file, then the above will not be possible. Because then you can't easily add the new id on each seperate page.
In that case you might do some dynamic adding of the attribute. If a server side language is used, e.g. PHP, then you might be able to easily set up an if{...} command that checks the URL or a GET request or alike. Else you might use some javascript to check each button and add the attribute id if the button text equals some header on the page.
I hope you understand. Good luck.
I did it like this:
ul {
list-style-type:none;
}
li{
float: left;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
}
li:hover{
float: left;
border: solid 1px #CCC;
border-bottom:none;
}
I need to get rid outer border, just cells border and there should be space between cells . I can't get why it builds this outer border around the table, I just tried this code in separate file
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 4px;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
and it display correctly. But on website content it make this outer border. Can somebody help me?
Just do in your css:
.tribe-events-calendar
{
border: 0px!important;
}
OR
#big
{
border: 0px!important;
}
Or, if it's already there the class or id, modify these values to set them as said. Beware the class, because supposedly it should affect other elements.
Reading again your question, if you set it in a different stylesheet it could happen that it overwrites the values of the 0px with the values of the Npx from the other sheet. Merge them into one, or, if you cannot, put the !important; mark after the css that says 0px.
If nothing works, embed (not include) it at the beginning of your file. Last and least (read: NOT ADVISABLE), use inline css.
I tried to add this: "border: none;" to the table element itself inside the HTML and it worked.
I think your problem is this:
table.tribe-events-calendar, .tribe-events-calendar td {
border: 1px solid #BBB;
}
It overrides your css.
Use chrome's "inspect element" or firebug for Firefox to see the problem.
You Just need to change only one place that is,
Original Code
table.tribe-events-calendar, .tribe-events-calendar td {
border: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
After Modification
table.tribe-events-calendar td {
border: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
You can use Firefox FireBug for inspect and do Live edits for CSS and Jquery.
Is there a possibility to have a visual separator between two lines (tr) in an HTML table.
I tried with a <br> but this is not valid code.
I tried do add a padding-top to the tr after the break but it does not work.
Currently I use an empty line:
<tr><td colspan=\"X\"> </td></tr>
but I don't think this is the best solution, especially as I have to make sure the colspan is adjusted if there is a change is the number of columns.
Is there any way to solve this?
Edited to reflect my re-reading the question rather than the title of the question (original answer remains below the rule).
If you want a visual separator (rather than simply white-space) then simply use:
td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; /* or whatever specific values you prefer */
}
The only way to increase spacing between table rows, that I'm currently aware of, is to use padding on individual rows/cells:
td {
padding: 0.5em 1em;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
JS Fiddle demo
Although there is the potential to use transparent (or background-color-ed borders):
table {
border-collapse: separate;
}
td {
border-top: 0.5em solid transparent;
border-bottom: 0.5em solid transparent;
}
td:hover {
border-color: #ccc;
}
JS Fiddle demo
The <tr /> element is not stylable in all browsers however you could always add the padding or a bottom-border to the cells within the tr.
Actually, I use separate trs for this purpose all the time. I style them (e.g. the one td within) via a separator class.
