Table showing format

I just need to show my plain html table in which it shows only lines of rows and hide columns in 开发者_运维问答it, so that the another person seeing it, thinks it as a table with one column, but actually it has multiple columns...I cant use colspan, as I need columns as itself...

Please help thanks..

Turn the border off on your: <table border="0" class="thisTable">, and give it a class like the example. Then add the following lines to your CSS:

table.thisTable {
 border-bottom:1px #000 solid;
 // edit:
 border-spacing:none; // you need this to take away spacing you still see
 border-collapse:collapse; // you need this to take away spacing you still see
}

table.thisTable td {
 border-top:1px #000 solid;
}

This will add a border at the top for each td and end the table off with a bottom border.

Hope this helps.

//edit:

Add a class to the first and last <td> of each <tr> and define the following in your CSS as well:

table.thisTable td.first {
 border-left:1px #000 solid;
}

table.thisTable td.last {
 border-right:1px #000 solid;
}

This will round the borders off nicely along the edges of the table.

Use CSS to style your table:

td {
   border-bottom: 1px;
   border-top: 1px; /* optional, you will have to play with the formatting */
   border-left: none;
   border-right: none;
}

This will give a top and bottom border to each data cell, which should do what you need it to. Play a little with the formatting to make sure you get it right.
