TABLE: how to make a rule thicker?

[bulrush]

In an HTML table, how do I make the rule between rows thicker, for every 3rd row? Actually, the user will specify which rows need a thicker rule, so I just need the code to make one rule thicker.

 

This solution has to print to the printer, so using background-color will not work in this case.

Set a class on each 3rd row, then give that class a bottom border.

Thanks. This is how I did it. It seems the property has to go in every <td> that is affected.

<tr><td style="border-bottom:thick solid #000000">col 1<td style="border-bottom:thick solid #000000">col 2<td style="border-bottom:thick solid #000000">col 3

Could be, but I would suggest adding a class to each of the tags and apply the css style against the class, rather than using inline styles.

[bulrush]

Right. I just do testing with inline styles. When it works then I put it in a class.

On that note, you may find testing a little easier using the firebug plugin on firefox - you can do real-time CSS editing with it.

 

Anyways, glad your problem got fixed.
