I am using Firefox 3.5.7 and I have the same CSS used in multiple HTML tables, but there are some examples where parts of the borders are not shown.
What makes no sense to me is that the same CSS on the same page for another HTML table works fine. Also, the same page in Internet Explorer looks fine from a border point of view.
Here is an image with an example, as you can see in this case the bottom of the first table is missing a border.
Does anyone have a clue why this would happen here?
Maybe you've zoomed in/out a bit. This can happen either accidently or knowingly when you do Ctrl+Scrollwheel. Maybe it isn't completely resetted to zoom level zero. This mis-rendering behaviour is then recognizeable at some websites, also here at SO.
To fix this, just hit Ctrl+0 or do View > Zoom > Reset to reset the zoom level to default.
This is Firefox/Gecko bug 410959. This affects tables with border-collapse:collapse. It's from 2008 and there's no real progress on it, so you'll probably need to find a workaround. One way is using border-collapse:separate and fiddling with borders on a per-cell basis.
I found a similar problem when zoomed out in Firefox on an application I am working on.
The main cause was having the CSS border-collapse property set to collapse.
Changing it to separate instead fixed the problem. However, that meant I did have to rethink the way borders are applied to various parts of the table, because otherwise your borders will appear to double in thickness. I ended up having to use jQuery to give a special "last" class to the last td or th in each tr, and to the last tr in the table. My query was something like:
$('table tr > th:last-child, table > tbody > tr > td:last-child, table > tbody > tr:last-child').addClass('last');
My CSS rules were similar that:
table
{
border-collapse: separate !important;
}
table tr, table th, table td
{
border-right-width: 0;
border-bottom-width: 0;
border-left: 1px solid black;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
table td.last, table th.last
{
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
table tr.last td
{
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
table
{
border: 0;
}
I did end up using browser targeting so that I only applied these rules to Firefox users, but it may work for all browsers, I haven't tested.
Building on the good answer of #GregL (I seem unable to "comment" directly on it):
Instead of using JQuery to generate a "last" class, I simply used the built-in pseudo-element selector :first-child. I built rules selecting tr:first-child and td:first-child that define border-top and border-left (instead of border-right and border-bottom as in GregL's answer). The generic rules define border-right and border-bottom instead of border-left and border-top. :first-child is said to be supported in Chrome v. 4.0, Firefox v. 3.0, IE 7.0, Safari v. 3.1, and Opera v. 9.6 (). Tested on Firefox v. 40.0.3, where I saw this problem in the first place.
This was caused by the table (with a missing bottom-border) to be inside a div...The border apparently didn't get calculated in the table height, so the border was there but wasn't shown.
Giving the surrounding div a margin-bottom from 1px solved the problem.
Just use border-spacing:0; hope this will solve your problem.
Border started going missing when browser zoom was increased. I was able to solve it by doing the following. Tested in Chrome and Firefox.
padding: 0.5px !important
I had the same problem with missing table border.
My solution is:
table{
border-collapse: collapse !important;
border-spacing: 0px;
border: 1px solid #DDD;
}
And border for table rows:
table tr{
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDD !important;
}
I am using Bootstrap either in my layout and the table has also bootstrap css classes like "table table-striped table-bordered"
This solution works for me, when I tried solution with
border-collapse: separate !important;
it didn't work properly for me.
worked for me realisation of answer #Donald Payne
*( .table - bootstrap class )
table.table {
border-collapse: separate !important;
}
table.table tr,
table.table th,
table.table td {
border-right-width: 0 !important;
border-bottom-width: 0 !important;
border-left: 1px solid #DDD !important;
border-top: 1px solid #DDD !important;
}
table.table td:last-child,
table.table th:last-child {
border-right: 1px solid #DDD !important;
}
table.table tr:last-child td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDD !important;
}
table.table {
border: 0 !important;
}
table.table thead tr:last-child th,
table.table thead tr:last-child td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDD !important;
}
table.table tbody tr:first-child th,
table.table tbody tr:first-child td {
border-top-width: 0 !important;
}
This is a bit tangential, but for those searching for missing borders in Firefox…
I had a border-bottom of a table-row (<tr>) that was missing where a background had been set on a specific cell. It turned out this was caused by a rogue position: relative on the cell, removing that (or changing it to position: inherit) fixed it.

I have a Table in which there are TD's. In one of those td's, I am applying border. It is
working fine in CHROME, but its getting disturbed in IE.
NOTE:- Earlier, when the cellpadding of the table was 2 it was looking fine but when I increased the cellpadding the border got disturbed.
Here is how it looks like
and here is the fiddle
what should I do to make it work in IE
Do you mean you want it looking like this?
https://jsfiddle.net/Hastig/o1j88quk/3/
If so add table { border-collapse: collapse; } to your css.
May also have to remove cellspacing="10" from inline style of table
To remove middle line
change
tr.black-border td {
border-top: 1px solid #0D63B0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #0D63B0;
}
to
tr.black-border:nth-child(3) td {
border-top: 1px solid #0D63B0;
}
tr.black-border:nth-child(4) td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #0D63B0;
}
Alternatively, you can control the border style by adding classes, if old IE has a problem with nth-child(x)
I've come across a very strange issue with the latest version of DOMPDF (0.6.0 Beta 3). I'm using it to create invoices for customers on my site. The design calls for 1px borders between the table cells. If I use either black or #000 for the border color, the tables are rendered nicely. However, when I change the color, to say #CCC for example, instead of a 1px border, the borders become 2px. I'm using border-collapse:collapse and I've been pulling my hair out over this for 2 days. I'm not changing anything else except the color, yet the border thickness is changing. Has anyone else run across this issue and know what the solution is or have any suggestions? Why does black render a 1px border but other colors are rendered as 2px borders? Help!
Edit: I also have empty cells filled with as I read that that may cause issues with tables, but still no luck.
This might help. I have not tried to reproduce your problem, but I know it helped with some issues I was having with tables.
try adding this to your css for the table:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
Obviously you can use the appropriate selector in the css and not define the entire table class.
I was having the exact same problem. It's caused from the table having its own border and the cells having their own borders. Here's how I fixed it:
table {
border-left: 0.01em solid #ccc;
border-right: 0;
border-top: 0.01em solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table td,
table th {
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0.01em solid #ccc;
border-top: 0;
border-bottom: 0.01em solid #ccc;
}
If anyone facing problem with borders of multiple tables in a row
Replace This
table{ border:collapse; }
with
table{ border-spacing: 0; }
Reference link
I've seen some improvement by setting border thickness to 0.01em
Use border-spacing: -1px;
Instead of border-collapse: collapse;
I am trying to figure out how to add border only inside the table with the cell spacing. When I do:
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 4px;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
It works almost fine just cells without spacing. How to achieve that?
Thanks
If you're trying to write CSS rules for tables on which you've defined the cellspacing attribute, a solution could be this :
table[cellspacing] {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 4px;
}
table[cellspacing] td, table[cellspacing] th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
But it would be much cleaner and more efficient to give a class to your table (<table class="withspace">). So you would more classically do
table.withspace {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 4px;
}
table.withspace td, table.withspace th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
EDIT : just in case, if what you want is simply to have some space in your cells, add a padding value in your css :
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 4px;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 4px;
}
The CSS code posted is correct and causes borders around cells (but around the table as a whole) and 4px spacing between cells, on conforming browsers. I suppose you were testing this on IE 7 or older, which do not support the border-spacing property.
I’m afraid there is no simpler workaround than to create a table without any borders and put an inner element inside each cell, making that cell occupy the entire cell except small margins, and draw borders around the inner elements. This probably gets ugly, so I’d rather let the presentation on IE 7 be suboptimal.
(For some reason, border-spacing does not seem to work in jsfiddle. Probably some general rule overrides a normal attempt to set the property.)
How can I achieve a similar effect as in http://jsfiddle.net/eLWe3/2/, but without the additional markup?
I tried with tr:before {}, but it messes with the table. Solution has to work with IE8 and up, fallback to a single border on IE7 is okay.
This fork of your original example is as close as I could get. The updated CSS is:
table { margin: 0 auto; border-collapse:separate; }
thead { background: #FDECEE; }
th { font-weight: bold; }
tbody tr:last-child td { border-bottom: 1px solid blue; }
tfoot td { border-top: 1px solid pink; }
But, as you can see, I've not been able to get the 2px gap you wanted between the two borders. As far as I know, this won't be possible without additional markup of some description: hopefully I'm wrong.
Edit - I've created a new example that uses generated content to get the gap you're after:
tbody tr:last-child td:after {
content:'';
display:block;
border-bottom: 1px solid blue;
margin-bottom:2px;
}
It works in Firefox, Chrome and IE9+, falling back to a single border for less capable browsers. The only reason IE8 fails is because it lacks support for last:child to target the final row in the tbody. You could add a class to the last row in the table (either directly or using JavaScript) to get it working in that browser.
not a great idea but use a background image on the relevant row/cell
Maybe this is an acceptable alternative:
tbody {
border-bottom: 2px outset pink;
}
I have stuck in a point when I convert a psd to html/css
The page is this : http://valogiannis.com/freelancer/neurosport/editdetails.html
Below the title "Edit Account Details" I have a table to show the user data.
I have I have the following rule for the rows
#editAccountDetails tr {
border-bottom:#cdd3e0 solid 1px;
border-top:#fff solid 1px;
line-height:3;
}
As you can see in the page the blue bottom-border overlap the white border-top. I get the same result in all browser so I suppose is normal behavior and it's something that I can't understand.
What I want to achieve is the border-bottom to be exactly above the white border-top. Any suggestion?
P.S Something else that would help me if you know. How can I make the border-bottom don't appear for the latest row and border-top for the first row? I think it's something like tr + tr {... } but I don't remember exactly.
The reason you cant see your borders is because this is in your reset.css
table {
border-collapse: collapse
}
add in this to your css
#editAccountDetails table {
border-collapse: seperate
}
You will also need to remove the borders from the tr to the td
#editAccountDetails td {
border-bottom:1px solid #CDD3E0;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
}
And the selector for the first row is:
#editAccountDetails tr:first-child {color:blue}
And the selector for the last row is: (last row doesnt work in ie)
#editAccountDetails tr:last-child {color:blue}
table {
border-collapse: collapse
}
try this
Simply put borders on the TD instead of TR and all will be well :-)
#editAccountDetails tr td {
border-bottom:#cdd3e0 solid 1px;
border-top:#fff solid 1px;
line-height:3;
}
