<html>
<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 doesnt come up.
And i wanted to change the height of a row.If i specify it with 'px' -- it work.But,if i give it with a % -- wont 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>
</html>
You need to add the border to the tablecell class.
Also, to make it look nice, you will need to add border-collapse:collapse; to the table class.

EDIT
As per the comment
i'm applying a border to a div,it should get displayed right ?
Yes, but once you set it to display as a table that is how it will act... as a table, so you will then need to follow the css rules for displaying tables.
If you need to set the border only on the rows, use border-top and border-bottom and then set specific classes for the leftmost and rightmost cells.
Table rows can't have a border attribute. You can get a border around each row by giving all cells a top and bottom border, and adding a class for the left-most and right-most cells with a left and right border respectively.
edit: I forgot about border-collapse:collapse. That will work too.
