Well, with a combination of
#jastablejan345 table { border-top: none }
and
#jastablejan345 table tr:first-of-type td { border-type: none }
you should be able to get rid of the top border of the table. But that does leave the sides sticking out, and there’s no good way to get rid of those, because if you remove them from the table, all of the sides will be missing, not just the sides of the top row.
I would be tempted to style this much differently, but that’s my personal taste. I tend to only show the horizontal rules, and leave the vertical divisions to the eye to figure out. If you do that, then it’s easy to drop the top row.
Try this recipe:
-
Select your table, and remove all of the borders and padding from it using the Inspector.
-
Make a new tag-only style with the following attributes (which you must do through the Extended attributes). The TAG field should read .striped td (or whatever you choose as the class name). When looking at the following recipe, and translating it into a Freeway style, you use the part outside of the {} curly braces as the Selector (the part you type, slavishly, into the Tag field, then tab into the Name field, delete, and tab out… Then look at the part inside the curly-braces (which you otherwise ignore) and use each name:value; pair as the Name and the Value in Extended. Do not enter the : or ; in either field.
.striped td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 3px 6px;
}
This will magically remove the top border without further effort, because it won’t be there at all. It will provide a single tasteful rule below each row of content, and no vertical rules, which interrupt reading anyway.
To make this rule apply to your table, click once on the table so its corner handles light up. Then choose Item / Extended from the main menu, make sure that
is selected in the tabs, and then add the name/pair values:
- Name:
class
- Value:
striped
(or whatever else you chose as the classname for your style.)
