<div class="tablecell">bar</div>

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!
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.You need to add the
border
to thetablecell
class.Also, to make it look nice, you will need to add
border-collapse:collapse;
to the table class.Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jasongennaro/4bvc2/
EDIT
As per the comment
Yes, but once you set it to display as a
table
that is how it will act... as atable
, so you will then need to follow the css rules for displaying tables.If you need to set the
border
only on the rows, useborder-top
andborder-bottom
and then set specific classes for the leftmost and rightmost cells.You need to add
border-collapse: collapse;
to the.table
class for it to work like this:
