Layout help sought

Right now I am arranging a column of separated tables to organize information in the “What’s New” section of the following page:
(http://users.dcu.ac.jp/~gakusei/)

I have tried a table with a connecting column of cells to use space more efficiently, but Freeway does not provide many options for cell borders (all or nothing) and using the extend button still has flaws (only the left border or right border will appear, not both, etc).

The only way to get a continuous bottom border across a two column table was to have separate tables. Right now, I only have a dotted line under each item but I would like to more clearly outline the information and tighten up the page spatially.

Does anyone have a good idea of how to lay out this information or solve my border problem?

It’s OK! I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the “extend” when trying to specify borders.

I was setting a separate style for top, then for bottom, left and right. This would have them cancel each other out.

So I set one style with the properties for each side (border-bottom: solid #ff0000; border-right: solid #ff0000; etc.) and this did the trick.

Now I use just one table and can keep everything organized :slight_smile:
