I'm trying to design some HTML/CSS that can put a border around specific rows in a table. Yes, I know I'm not really supposed to use tables for layout but I don't know enough CSS to completely replace it yet.
Anyways, I have a table with multiple rows and columns, some merged with rowspan and colspan, and I'd like to put a simple border around parts of the table. Currently, I'm using 4 separate CSS classes (top, bottom, left, right) that I attach to the <td>
cells that are along the top, bottom, left, and right of the table respectively.
.top {
border-top: thin solid;
border-color: black;
}
.bottom {
border-bottom: thin solid;
border-color: black;
}
.left {
border-left: thin solid;
border-color: black;
}
.right {
border-right: thin solid;
border-color: black;
}
<html>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>no border</td>
<td>no border here either</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="top left">one</td>
<td class="top right">two</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bottom left">three</td>
<td class="bottom right">four</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">once again no borders</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="top bottom left right" colspan="2">hello</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">world</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>
