Why do we have 'table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; }' in boilerplate.css ?

What is the intent of this line ?
What is it facilitating ?

Boilerplate.css is a bit of overkill if you ask me.  I tried disabling it, but the results were not ideal so I just left it. 
If you have time & inclination, you can manually zero out browser defaults on individual selectors without using boilerplate.  Or switch to a different CSS reset method.  There are quite a few to choose from below:

    Why do I have a faint yellowish border around my images' shadows in a Keynote presentation?
    Thanks,

    I actually took my mac to an Apple store for them to look at this problem.
    Four people looked at it including a creative person, a genius and a few technical people.
    To no avail... they had no resolution!
    Does anybody out there have a solution??

  • Table Border Colors Not Corresponding to CSS

    Having an issue with tables not displaying their designated border colors. I think something is over-riding in CSS, but don't know how. Here is the page. I've assigned it a new class w/background-color, but it's not showing up - - just transparent borders. Thoughts?
    .table{
    display:inline;
    border-color:#000000}

    That worked for the border, thanks. Although I'm trying to get each cell outlined in #000000 as well. Would i assign something like
    border-right-color: 1px solid #000000;
    border-left-color: 1px solid #000000}
    as well?
    .table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    .table td {

  • Why don't folder trees stay collapsed in LR3?

    Why do I get expanded folder trees when starting LR3 that were collapsed when I previously exited the program?  Not all trees are expanded, just those I had worked with earlier, then closed.  I have to close (collapse) each tree before I can see the list of high level folders.

    Known bug. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/657489?tstart=0
    The workaround is to collapse all subfolders before collapsing the top-level folder. You can do it easily by alt-clicking on the top-level folder.

  • Table cell collapse...

    My last question for now...
    How can I get this cell to collapse so only my CSS assigned
    to this particular cell is dominant. Right now, my CSS inserted
    graphic shows, but the cell left a block of white space above the
    graphic...as if the table cell didn't know to collapse (or crop
    down) to the CSS image. Here is the bit of code & I am unsure
    as how to edit it accordingly. -- I just need for the cell to
    collapse in favor of the assigned CSS image graphic.
    <tr>
    <td width="0" height="0"
    class="dotbar01"> </td>
    </tr>
    Thanks a lot!

    Thats because the &nbsp stops the cell from completely
    collapsing. Try
    putting some height in cell.
    .dotbar01 {
    background-image: url(dotbar01.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    font-size: 7px;
    or
    .dotbar01 {
    background-image: url(dotbar01.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    height: 7px;
    or put a transparent gif into the cell set at the height you
    want it to be.

  • Table border is not over-riding cell formatting

    I'm using InDesign CS4. I've created a table and styled it with a Table Style which uses several cell styles. I have specified a table border in Table Setup, but it does not appear on my table. It maintains the formatting in the cells. "Preserve Local Formatting" is grayed out, so I cannot select or deselect it. The only way to get the border to show up is to manually apply a stroke using the Stroke palette. I do not want to use this solution. I want it to work in the Table Style.
    A similar problem was posted but not answered here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6fbf.html
    Please help!

    Here is a useful bit of info from the InDesign CS4 online help:
    Formatting precedence in styles
    If a conflict occurs in formatting applied to a table cell, the following order of precedence determines which formatting is used:
    Cell style precedence
    1. Header/Footer 2. Left column/Right column 3. Body rows. For example, if a cell appears in both the header and the left column, the formatting from the header cell style is used.  
    Table style precedence
    1. Cell overrides 2. Cell style 3. Cell styles applied from a table style 4. Table overrides 5. Table styles. For example, if you apply one fill using the Cell Options dialog box and another fill using the cell style, the fill from the Cell Options dialog box is used.

  • Table border thickness in PDF

    Hi All,
    I have developed a report which contains multiple tables. The table borders are
    rendered with different weights(thickness) in PDF output. In the RTF output the table
    border is of the same thickness. In PDF, this issue is also found the cell border also.
    Please let me know if there is an option to avoid this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sandesh

    Hi Sandesh,
    Does the output still look incorrect once the report has been printed. Something else to consider is if you are using nested tables, and both the inner and outer tables have a border set, in the PDF the lines will double up, but it will look fine in an RTF.
    If this is the case, then the solution is to take the border off either the inner or outer table.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Cj

  • Record list: add table border

    Using the generator preference "Record list: add table border". I have a problem getting this to work on a single module. The module will not get a border regardless of the setting (Yes/No).
    On a different module in the same application system the preference does work.
    What could be the problem?

    I think what is being asked is "How do I expose a database view as a schema table in Configuration Manager?"
    This is accomplished by creating a database view within the WCC database schema (and with the WCC schema user as the view owner). The view then will appear as a table in the "table" tab in Configuration Manager.
    One caveat in 11g is that the user created by RCU does not have any privileges to read/create views in its own schema. You may need to grant privileges to views for the WCC schema user before this will work.

  • Table border colors & Firefox/Safari

    I've noticed that when I set a table border color (using the

    How do I work around this--CSS?

    Firefox recognises:
    .table {border: 1px solid #black}
    black being the border color.... so not sure why you say that
    it doesn't
    recognise it :)

  • Table border color?

    In GoLive CS, my GoLive Help no longer works with Snow Leopard. So I'm posting here to ask how to make a table border a color, or is it black only? I've checked the Color box next to the Border field and selected a color, but the border stays black. Thanks.

    The color in the Inspector is for the table background, not the border.
    You may want to explore CSS table borders.
    If you are set on a non-CSS approach, nest one table within another with one row, one column. Color the outside table's background and set the inside table to have some cell spacing.

  • FF not showing table border style

    I have a webpage with css table border style dotted. It shows up in IE but there is just a line around the table in FF. Is there a way to make it show up? Many thanks.
    table.mytable {
    border-width: 6px;
    padding: 15px;
    border-style: dotted;
    border-color: #88aa96;}

    You need that } after background-color:#e8e5da;
    By removing it you introduced another error:
    <blockquote>Warning: Expected declaration but found '.'. Skipped to next declaration.
    Source File: http://www.cbrundage.net/cleeve/nature.htm
    Line: 33
    </blockquote>
    <pre><nowiki>table.mytable {
    border-width: 6px;
    padding: 15px;
    border-style: dotted;
    border-color: #88aa96;
    background-color:#e8e5da; /* missing } /*
    .back td{background-color:#e8e5da;
    </nowiki></pre>
    Instead of background-size you probably mean background-position:
    <blockquote>Warning: Unknown property 'background-size'. Declaration dropped.
    Source File: http://www.cbrundage.net/cleeve/nature.htm
    Line: 15</blockquote>
    <pre><nowiki>background-attachment:fixed; background-size: 100% 100%;

  • Dot-Matrix table border print

    Dear gurus,
    I want my output to print on Dot-Matrix printer,
    Everything is fine till i try to print a table with outline in it.
    I mean if i use a outline or a border for my table the whole table is displayed as a big black window.
    Now if i don't use the border or outline then the whole data of the table is printed without the border.
    Please help me to solve the issue.
    Regards,
    Roshan Lilaram.

    Can you try to print in a different printer, if the error persists then the problem is in the smartform, otherwise raise a note to SAP regarding this. I think that there is problem is with the page format in which u are taking the printout.
    OR
    Can you check if you have selected the framed border in the table border select pattern.
    Hope That Helps

  • Drow dot-style table border in JEditorPane (editing HTML)

    Hi,
    I want to extend JEditorPane to display table border in dot style when
    displaying tables with border="0". (like most HTML editors)
    I extended HTMLEditor and it's ViewFactory and now maybe I have to write extended TableView class for rendering my tables.
    I tried to do that, but without any success.
    Can any one advice my how can I rewrite the paint method or some kind of example how to make it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, i had advantage but i did it in a very stupid way. I copy/pased the
    original source and modified some inner classes.I do not remember exactlly what i did (right now i do not have the source).
    I modified BoxView and BoxPainter inner classes to achieve this effect.
    When i have the source I will paste it here.
    Have fun.
