Border around specific rows in a table?

Question

I\'m trying to design some HTML/CSS that can put a border around specific rows in a table. Yes, I know I\'m not really supposed to use tables for layout but I don\'t know en

Answer 1

The only other way I can think of to do it is to enclose each of the rows you need a border around in a nested table. That will make the border easier to do but will potentially creat other layout issues, you'll have to manually set the width on table cells etc.

Your approach may well be the best one depending on your other layout rerquirements and the suggested approach here is just a possible alternative.

  
    
    
        
no border
    
        
no border here either
  
    
  
    

        

             

                  
    
                        
one
    
                        
two
  
                  
  
                  
    
                      
three
    
                      
four
  
                  
  
             
         
    
    
    
         
once again no borders
  
    
  
    

        

             

                  
    
                        
hello
