Table row border doesn't work in Firefox and Safari - html

I wanted the table row to have a border on the bottom and top. The code below works in IE but not in Firefox or Safari! Kindly help!
HTML
<tr class='TableRow'>
CSS
.TableRow{
border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
border-top: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
}

As far as I know, you cannot set borders to table rows through CSS. But I will suggest you a workaround to this: Set the borders to the cells inside the row, and then use cellspacing="0".
Here is the CSS:
.TableRow td{
border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
border-top: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
}
And a sample HTML would be:
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr class="TableRow">
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>C</td>
<td>D</td>
</tr>
</table>
The first row will be the one with borders.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: I tried your code and didn't show the border in any browser, including IE.

Add border-collapse:collapse to the table then you can add border to the tr.
Example:
table.myTable{
border-collapse:collapse;
}
table.myTable tr{
border:1px solid red;
}

Does this fix your problem?
tr.TableRow td {
border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
border-top: 2px solid rgb(167,167,167);
}
It will add a border to all of the table data within any rows with the class TableRow. Adding the tr. at the start is good practice, as I assume you'll only be using this class with table row.
If you are applying this to multiple rows- you may also want to add border-collapse:collapse; which will collapse the borders into a single border.

Bordered table rows and spacing with CSS?

I have a table wherein I need to put a border around a given row or rows with spacing between them.
I seem to be able to do one or the other.
I know I can use
table { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 1em 0.5em; }
To get my spacing, but then the border won't show up with something like
tr.bordered { border: 1px solid blue; }
If I set border-collapse: collapse, the blue border shows. But then no spacing.
Am I missing something here?
EDIT: JS FIDDLE here
You can see, if you use "collapse", the border works but there is no space.
If you use "separate" you get spacing but no border.
Duplicate question here: Style row or column rather than cells when border-collapse: separate
The recommendation is to use colspan to simulate a table row, and add a border to the table inside of the colspan.
I guess what you want is to put spaces between the borders of the cell and its data? If so, you can use the property padding in td. ex:
td {
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
You can have an inner table which is bordered:
<table>
<tr><td colspan="3">
<table class="bordered">
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td>bar</td>
<td>baz</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>lorem</td>
<td>ipsum</td>
<td>dolor</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you want spacing between the table rows and add a border style to each row you can achieve this by setting only top and bottom border-spacing otherwise you cannot have a continuous line for each table row. And you need to set the border style on the td. Since border-collapse: collapse prevents to style the border on the TR element but you need it to set the top and bottom spacing between rows.

http://jsfiddle.net/6rLsL/1/show
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0 0.5em;
}
td {
padding: 0.5em;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
you can try to draw an unblured shadow : DEMO
.bordered {
box-shadow:0 0 0 1px black;
}
:( this works in FF , but ...
so ,
we can use :first-child and :last-child to draw borders from tds,
DEMO 2
.bordered td {
border: 1px solid #000;
border-left:none;
border:right:none;
padding:1em 0.5em;
border-right:none;
}
.bordered td:first-child {
border-left:1px solid #000
}
.bordered td:last-child {
border-right:1px solid #000;
border-left:none;
}
table {
border-spacing: 0;
}

Add border-bottom to table row <tr>

I have a table of 3 by 3. I need a way to add a border for the bottom of every row tr and give it a specific color.
First I tried the direct way, i.e.:
<tr style="border-bottom:1pt solid black;">
But that didn't work. So I added CSS like this:
tr {
border-bottom: 1pt solid black;
}
That still didn't work.
I would prefer to use CSS because then I don't need to add a style attribute to every row.
I haven't added a border attribute to the <table>. I hope that that is not affecting my CSS.
Add border-collapse:collapse to your table rule:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
Example
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr {
border-bottom: 1pt solid black;
}
<table>
<tr><td>A1</td><td>B1</td><td>C1</td></tr>
<tr><td>A2</td><td>B2</td><td>C2</td></tr>
<tr><td>A2</td><td>B2</td><td>C2</td></tr>
</table>

I had a problem like this before. I don't think tr can take a border styling directly. My workaround was to style the tds in the row:
<tr class="border_bottom">
CSS:
tr.border_bottom td {
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
Use border-collapse:collapse on table and border-bottom: 1pt solid black; on the tr
Use
border-collapse:collapse as Nathan wrote and you need to set
td { border-bottom: 1px solid #000; }
There are lot of incomplete answers here. Since you cannot apply a border to tr tag, you need to apply it to the td or th tags like so:
td {
border-bottom: 1pt solid black;
}
Doing this will leave a small space between each td, which is likely not desirable if you want the border to appear as though it is the tr tag. In order to "fill in the gaps" so to speak, you need to utilize the border-collapse property on the table element and set its value to collapse, like so:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
You can use the box-shadow property to fake a border of a tr element. Adjust Y position of box-shadow (below represented as 2px) to adjust thickness.
tr {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.99);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.99);
box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.99);
}
I tried adding
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
alongside the
tr {
bottom-border: 2pt solid #color;
}
and then commented out border-collapse to see what worked. Just having the tr selector with bottom-border property worked for me!
No Border CSS ex.
No Border Photo live
CSS Border ex.
Table with Border photo live
Use
table{border-collapse:collapse}
tr{border-top:thin solid}
Replace "thin solid" with CSS properties.
Display the row as a block.
tr {
display: block;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
and to display alternate colors simply:
tr.oddrow {
display: block;
border-bottom: 1px solid #F00;
}
Another solution to this is border-spacing property:
table td {
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
}
table {
border-spacing: 0px;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>ABC</td>
<td>XYZ</td>
</table>
If you don't want to
enforce border collapse on the table
use the TD elements styling
You can use the ::after selector to add borders to TR :
table tbody tr {
position : relative; # to contain the ::after element within the table-row
}
table tbody tr td {
position : relative; # needed to apply a z-index
z-index : 2; # needs to be higher than the z-index on the tr::after element
}
table tbody tr::after {
content : '';
position : absolute;
z-index : 1; # Add a z-index below z-index on TD so you can still select data from your table rows :)
top : 0px;
left : 0px;
width : 100%;
height : 100%;
border : 1px solid green; # Style your border here, choose if you want a border bottom, top, left, etc ...
}
It is a simple trick that I used in a scenario where I had to put spaces between table-rows so I wasn't able to add a border collapse on the table, the end result :
Hope it helps :)
I found when using this method that the space between the td elements caused a gap to form in the border, but have no fear...
One way around this:
<tr>
<td>
Example of normal table data
</td>
<td class="end" colspan="/* total number of columns in entire table*/">
/* insert nothing in here */
</td>
</tr>
With the CSS:
td.end{
border:2px solid black;
}
<td style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom: thick dotted #ff0000; ">
You can do the same to the whole row as well.
There is border-bottom-style, border-top-style,border-left-style,border-right-style. Or simply border-style that apply to all four borders at once.
You can see (and TRY YOURSELF online) more details here
Several interesting answers. Since you just want a border bottom (or top) here are two more. Assuming you want a blue border 3px thick. In the style section you could add
.blueB {background-color:blue; height:3px} or
hr {background-color:blue; color:blue height:3px}
In the table code either
<tr><td colspan='3' class='blueB></td></tr> or
<tr><td colspan='3'><hr></td></tr>
No CSS border bottom:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<hr>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
You can't put a border on a tr element. This worked for me in firefox and IE 11:
<td style='border-bottom:1pt solid black'>
HTML
<tr class="bottom-border">
</tr>
CSS
tr.bottom-border {
border-bottom: 1px solid #222;
}

How can I make my border-bottom not overwrite my border for my table?

How can I make my border-bottom not overwrite my border for my table? I what the sides to be complete black and not with a little bit of gray -- or "grey" for you all in England. ;)
UPDATE: Not concerned with the bottom border of the table getting overwritten -- I'm hoping to eliminate on the sides where the border is gray.
Here is my code I'm working with and a jsfiddle.net page for your convience ;)
<table>
<tr>
<td>row1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row4</td>
</tr>
</table>
table {
border: 4px solid #000;
width: 400px;
}
table tr {
border-bottom: 4px solid #CCC;
}
Set border-collapse:separate to your table, and add the border to the td's instead of the tr's:
http://jsfiddle.net/ptriek/uJ5zN/2/
At this point, #ptriek's solution seems to be the one that better addresses your question but, just for reference, here's a workaround using a <div> to wrap things up. This solution also keeps the last <tr>'s boarder intact and might come in handy in other situations.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uJ5zN/4/
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<table>
<tr>
<td>row1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row4</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
CSS
.wrapper
{
border: 4px solid #000;
width: 400px;
}
table {
width: 400px;
}
table tr{
border-bottom: 4px solid #CCC;
}
One way would be to use the CSS last-child selector as follows:
table {
border: 4px solid #000;
width: 400px;
}
table tr {
border-bottom: 4px solid #CCC;
}
table tr:last-child {
border-bottom: 4px solid #000;
}

Unable to select <TR>

I want to use css to change the property of the <tr> contents, like give it a red border. However doing the below code doesnt work on <tr>, but works on <td>. Did something go wrong?
CSS:
#leaderboard tr {
border: 1px red solid;
}
.leaderboard {
border: 1px red solid;
}
HTML:
<table id="leaderboard">
<tr class="leaderboard"><td>Hello</td></tr>
<tr class="leaderboard"><td>There!</td></tr>
</table>
Imho you can't give the tr border properties because only the individual cells have borders (in IE).
So the most simple solution would be to give the table left and right border and the cells top and bottom ones.
#leaderboard {
border: 1px red solid;
}
#leaderboard td {
border-top: 1px red solid;
border-bottom: 1px red solid;
}
Works fine in Chrome and Firefox. Are you using a modern, standards-compliant browser?
This works in IE8, FF5.
<style type="text/css">
.td{
border:1px solid red;
border-top:0;
height:28px;
}
</style>
<table width="300px" style="border-top:1px solid red;border-right:1px solid red;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="td" style="width:50px;">head1</td>
<td class="td" style="width:50px;">head2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td">cell1</td>
<td class="td">cell2</td>
</tr>
</table>
To my understanding, TR doesn't take up layout space the way other elements might. You'd be well advised to trade your tables/tr/td structure with nested, classed DIVs, like so:
<div id='leaderboard'>
<div class='leaderboard'>Hello</div>
<div class='leaderboard'>There</div>
</div>
There's nothing that you can do with tables that you can't do with divs, but conversely there's a lot divs CAN do that tables can't.

Set border to table tr, works in everything except IE 6 & 7

I set the border for the table event_calendar tr to be red, it works in everything except IE 6 & 7. What is wrong with my CSS?
table#event_calendar tr {
border:1px solid red;
}
<div class="content-body">
<table id="event_calendar">
<tr class="calendarHeader">
<th><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><<</div></th>
<th colspan="5"><h1>April 2009</h1></th>
<th><div class="calendarMonthLinks"><a class="calendarMonthLinks" href="http://webdev.herkimer.edu/calendar/2009/05/">>></a></div></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Sunday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Monday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Tuesday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Wednesday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Thursday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Friday</td>
<td class="calendarDayHeading">Saturday</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
IE does not honor the border property for <tr> tags. However, there are workarounds by putting a top and bottom border around each cell, and using "border-collapse: collapse;" so there's no space between cells. I will refer to this resource here on the exact method, but it will essentially look like this for you (I haven't tested it myself, so I'm not sure if this is exactly right, but I think you can riff on it.)
table#event_calendar {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-right: 1px solid red;
border-left: 1px solid red;
}
table#event_calendar td, table#event_calendar th {
border-top: 1px solid red;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}
Your CSS is sensible enough, but IE just doesn't do borders on tr elements. If you use this style you should get the intended result though:
table#event_calendar {
border-top:1px solid red;
border-right:1px solid red;
border-left:1px solid red;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
table#event_calendar td, table#event_calendar th {
border-bottom:1px solid red;
}
Setting the border on the td is the easiest solution. But if you really really want to make the borders on <tr>, you can always set:
tr { display:block; border-bottom:1px dotted #F00; }
By doing this, you loose the common width between the <td>. If you want to make all of them equal on width, set the display for <td> to inline-block and set some width:
td { display:inline-block; width:20%; }
It helps when you want to draw some border on the <td> and on <tr>.
CSS generated content like tr:before{} or tr:after{} can always help as well.
Change your CSS selector to "table#event_calendar tr td" and it should work.
