TableRow Borders

Okay, I'm sure that this is an incredibly simple one and it may have more to
do with HTML than with ASP.NET:
I have an ASP:Table with no borders and that table has several ASP:TableRows
, each with several ASP:TableCells in them.
I have no trouble setting the BorderWidth, BorderStyle, etc. of the individu
al TableCells or even of the whole ASP:Table. But what if I want to set the
BorderStyle and BorderColor, etc. of one of the ASP:TableRows? When I do thi
s, I get no errors, but not
hing happens. The goal is to outline one of the rows of the table (a box aro
und the whole TableRow, not around each of the row's cells). These propertie
s of the TableRow object don't seem to do anything. Can you help? Do I need
to use styles? If so, how?
Thanks!
AlexHi Alex,
The BorderStyle on ASP:TableRow will be grant to the <tr> tag in client
browser. Hwoever, these styles didn't work with a <tr> tag.
Your idea for setting style of each cell is also great. Following are code
to achieve this:
Dim count As Integer
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(0).Attributes.Add("style", "BORDER-TOP: ridge;
BORDER-BOTTOM: ridge;BORDER-LEFT: ridge")
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(Table1.Rows(1).Cells.Count -
1).Attributes.Add("style", "BORDER-TOP: ridge; BORDER-BOTTOM:
ridge;BORDER-RIGHT: ridge")
For count = 1 To Table1.Rows(1).Cells.Count - 2
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(count).Attributes.Add("style",
"BORDER-TOP: ridge; BORDER-BOTTOM: ridge")
Next

Two things:
1. If I set the borders of all of the cells in the Row, it has a different l
ook. What I really need is to be able to outline the whole row. Is there any
way to do that, maybe using styles for each of the cells so that I can edge
them as I want to? (e.g. o
nly the top and left side of a cell, etc.)?
Also, just out of curiosity, what's the point in having BorderStyle, etc. fo
r the TableRow class if it doesn't do anything?
Thanks.

Hi Alex,
An asp:TableRow will be rendered into <tr> tag by ASP.NET. An asp:table
will be rendered like:
<Table><tr><td>
..
</td></tr></Table>
The tag "<tr>" cannot have a border seperately. So do the asp:tablerow. I
think there are several work arounds for this problem:
1. set all cells' border in the row instead.
2. set the row's backgroud color instead. If you want to select/highlight a
row, it is also a good way.
Hope this help.
