I'm using smartsection 2.15 for my data and it absolutely refuses to show the borders around cells in a table.

I can get the data to appear properly, but some of my tables are very big and they REALLY need the borders around the cells.

I've tried every possible command. I can get the border around the table to appear but not the borders in the table.

I'm using the sd_072_light theme

can someone tell me what changes to make to the css for either the theme or smartsection, so that my tables will appear properly?


TIA!

In style.css find something related to tables eg. table, table td or table tr and make it like this: border: 1px solid #000;

It's for the black border. Show me the live site and I'll help you :)

hi'

You should try to add a piece of code in style.css

As bjuti said, a border will appear if you add at the right place
table tr td {border1px solid #000}


But if you do so, all your tables displayed on your site will get borders.

So you have to be more specific, and only apply your new style to smartsection.
#smartsection table {border: 1px solid #000}

(if this instruction does not work properly, add !important after #000 or make sure that directory name for smartsection is really /smartsection).

Now all your tables displayed with smartsection will have a border. But it is not enough precise (eg : notification box may have also a black border, not the aim).

The more easy way to proceed is to identify your table in template directly. Like this :
<table class="i-want-a-black-border"><tr><td>...

... and add css instruction somewhere in style.css
#smartsection table.i-want-a-black-border tr td {border: 1px solid #000}


I hope it works :)

hi'

You can put it directly at the end of style.css, in your theme stylesheet.

Nice website... but I can't access to smartsection

unfortunately, they aren't working. so the only thing i can think of is to take a screenshot of each table and insert it into the screen as an image :(

Could you provide a link for a page wich displays such table ?

Here I see a table (with light borders)... it is about these tables ?
