How to get css background color on tag to span entire row

Question

I have tried everything I can think of in css in order to get a background color to span an entire table row ( tag) But I keep getting a white border around each

Answer 1

Removing the borders should make the background color paint without any gaps between the cells. If you look carefully at this jsFiddle, you should see that the light blue color stretches across the row with no white gaps.

If all else fails, try this:

table { border-collapse: collapse; }
