[thelist] css styling of tables

[Ben Phillips]

i have been getting quite confused with styling tables using css.

previously, i have used html attributes such as bgcolor, but am trying
to move away from this towards supplying the table or maybe a tr or td
with a style that can be changed via css.

however, i have met with quite a bit of resistance on the cross-browser
front. i also am not sure whether to style a row, or each cell, or how
to style a column. i also got a bit confused with the border-collapse
issue as well - albeit with only a quick glance through the w3c
documentation.

basically, i'm looking for some good online tutorials that explain the
best methods of styling html tables using css.
