Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / August 2008Bottom borders
Something probably simple but I'm still grappling with CSS... I'm trying to put a border along the bottom of a table and am using the following as its class. TABLE.jedheader{ width: 100%; border-bottom-style: solid ; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-width: 2px; } An example is here - http://www.jedsite.info/content/test.html What am I doing wrong? TTFN Whisper > I'm trying to put a border along the bottom of a table and am using > the following as its class. > > TABLE.jedheader{ [...] > An example is here - http://www.jedsite.info/content/test.html The string "jedheader" does not appear anywhere in the HTML document, so you have no such class. Hence the CSS rule has no effect. > What am I doing wrong? Quite a many things, including pointless use of tables for layout.

You get a score of -100 in decent behavior by insulting a person so that you yourself hide behind fake identity. Thank you for making it so clear you can and should be ignored. > >> I'm trying to put a border along the bottom of a table and am using > >> the following as its class.

Ok maybe I was a tiny bit unfair as he had obviously checked the page when I had changed the class back to the old one whiler I tinkered with it. But the fact remains that all he did was criticise and not offer any practical help - for instance I'm still wondering why it is a 'pointless use of tables'?. > >>>> I'm trying to put a border along the bottom of a table and am using > >>>> the following as its class.

I am not on this earth to defend JK but fair is fair and you got very mild. Stick around kid and see what you can get around this wild west town here.... <g>. Having got the tip that there is an issue about tables being used to lay pages out you can google some material up. When I typed "tables and webpages" into my google bar, the very first link came up as: "Web Page Layouts Shouldn't Use Tables - Avoid Tables for Web Page ..." So you can see it is a known, super-trodden issue. It is hard for folk here to maintain a youthful energy and some of the older hands (with the ability to really help out in a crisis) naturally prefer to refer rather to explain about some of these very big issues that have developed such a literature. OK? Now, about the mention of the doctype, this is another one of those issues that you might get up to speed with. If you don't have time to study this issue, I sympathise, and I will give you some simple advice. Use 4.01 Strict for the foreseeable future and have as a friend <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/> and <http://validator.w3.org/> There is a great deal wrong with your markup (it is hugely broken in my browsers) and even I have no time to go through every issue at the moment. I have completely exhausted myself teasing two of the regulars here on one incredible non-issue and talking to myself at length but publicly yet again about a serious issue, ordered lists. <g> As for your very specific issue, you have no style assigned to jedheader. Do one of two things: Remove your class="jedheader" and substitute style="border-bottom: 8px solid #ccc;" or whatever sort of border you want. And good luck! Signaturedorayme > Do one of two things: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > or whatever sort of border you want. You see how tired I am, I forget the other thing: Leave class="jedheader" and put jedheader {border-bottom: 8px solid #ccc;} in your stylesheet. Look up "css stylesheet" at <http://htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/> Time for a movie, I think the lovely Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby (he does have a voice!), Frank Sinatra (so does he) and Satchmo (he has a lot of everything) are on tonight. I suppose you might be able to guess or look up which film. I don't think it is one of the best. But they all have been in great movies at least... <g> Signaturedorayme >> Do one of two things: >> [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > up which film. I don't think it is one of the best.

Wll, I suppose there must be some compensations for living in Oz!

Cheer up Molly, it will only be for the next 6 months or so and the Russians might not choke off fuel supplies to Europe. I can't describe how lovely the day is here this Monday morn in Sydney. I can tell you that I have overhead many conversations in the street outside with bits of them that go something like "Yes! This is confirmation that God made Adam and Eve in the lovely Garden in Sydney. <g> It was not on TV. High Society was more a mildly interesting phenomenum than a great movie. I liked seeing the routine of Frank Sinatra and the saucy Celeste Holme doing "Who wants to be a millionare" and Bing with Satchmo doing "All that Jazz" and I quite liked it when Bing knocked out Sinatra to save him from the an enraged fiance who was about to knock him out harder still... Signaturedorayme > Something probably simple but I'm still grappling with CSS... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > What am I doing wrong? Several things, but to your immediate question you have no table of class "jedheader" on the page. Rule will never be applied. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> Hmmmm time to update maybe?
