I have a table which has a certain style due to the CSS file for the page (it has blue borders, etc...).
Is there a simple way to remove the CSS for that specific ta
Use a CSS reset like the YUI CSS reset.
Try this.
From Eric Meyer's Reset CSS
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: baseline;
background: transparent;
}
If you want to make sure you unset the CSS for all properties you can use the following:
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
all: unset;
}

property: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/all
Was looking for something like this on a website that used both jqueryui and the tablesorter plugin, for a table inside a tablesorter table. While some of the answers here helped, it wasn't enough, especially since tablesorter uses :hover and jquery ui uses corner rounding, etc. Here is what I came up with:
I declared a class that when applied to a table will clean it up to some sensible defaults. It's imperative that this css is declared before any other classes it may need to clean up for, ie <link>
to it or put it in a <style>
tag at the top of your <head>
section.
.defaulttable {
display: table;
}
.defaulttable thead {
display: table-header-group;
}
.defaulttable tbody {
display: table-row-group;
}
.defaulttable tfoot {
display: table-footer-group;
}
.defaulttable tbody>tr:hover,
.defaulttable tbody>tr {
display: table-row;
}
.defaulttable tbody>tr:hover>td,
.defaulttable tbody>tr>td {
display: table-cell;
}
.defaulttable,
.defaulttable tbody,
.defaulttable tbody>tr:hover,
.defaulttable tbody>tr,
.defaulttable tbody>tr:hover>td,
.defaulttable tbody>tr>td,
.defaulttable tbody>tr:hover>th,
.defaulttable tbody>tr>th,
.defaulttable thead>tr:hover>td,
.defaulttable thead>tr>td,
.defaulttable thead>tr:hover>th,
.defaulttable thead>tr>th,
.defaulttable tfoot>tr:hover>td,
.defaulttable tfoot>tr>td,
.defaulttable tfoot>tr:hover>th,
.defaulttable tfoot>tr>th {
background: transparent;
border: 0px solid #000;
border-spacing: 0px;
border-collapse: separate;
empty-cells: show;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
outline: 0px;
font-size: 100%;
color: #000;
vertical-align: top;
text-align: left;
font-family: sans-serif;
table-layout: auto;
caption-side: top;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px;
border-radius: 0px;
-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
-moz-background-clip: padding;
background-clip: padding-box;
}
Then simply apply the class to the table you want "defaulted":
<table class="defaulttable and whatever else you want">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>This will appear with sensible defaults.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
