<style type="text/css">
.table { display: table;}
.tablerow { display: table-row; border:1px solid black;}
.tablecell { display: table-cell; }
</style>
<div class="table">
<div class="tablerow">
<div class="tablecell">Hello</div>
<div class="tablecell">world</div>
</div>
<div class="tablerow">
<div class="tablecell">foo</div>
<div class="tablecell">bar</div>
</div>
</div>
</html>
According to my understanding, a black border should be drawn on each of the rows which I've specified via tablerow class. But the border doesn't come up.
And I wanted to change the height of a row. If I specify it with 'px' -- it works. But, if I give it with a % -- won't work.I tried the following
.tablerow {
display: table-row;
border:1px solid black;
position: relative; //not affecting anything and the border disappears!!
//position: absolute; // if this is set,the rows overlaps and the border works
height: 40%; // works only if specified in px and not in %
}
Something is going wrong somewhere, but I am not able to understand where. Please help!
You need to add border-collapse: collapse; to the .table class for it to work like this:
<html>
<style type="text/css">
.table { display: table; border-collapse: collapse;}
.tablerow { display: table-row; border: 1px solid #000;}
.tablecell { display: table-cell; }
</style>
<div class="table">
<div class="tablerow">
<div class="tablecell">Hello</div>
<div class="tablecell">world</div>
</div>
<div class="tablerow">
<div class="tablecell">foo</div>
<div class="tablecell">bar</div>
</div>
</div>
