Tables
Q: Can I make transparent borders and rules on a table?
A: Yes.
- That's a tough one because there is no "cellborder" directive for the table style. You can play with the BORDER and RULE attributes of table, but it seems that you cannot rely upon your browser to interpret that stuff the way you want it.
- I think the easiest way to write this is using wiki table notation with a different background for the table and for each row.
