Table CSS styling | Borders

Question

I really need some help with CSS.

I'm trying to style a table and I'm having difficulties adding borders.

Here's the table style I'm going for (Photoshopped): https://ibb.co/hFkCkDg

Adding a border around the table is simple:

.table-class {
    border: 1px solid #dddddd !important;
    padding: 20px !important;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

To add the separating lines inside the table I need to add a top or bottom border to the rows in the table. Rows are tr elements. By default a tr element of a table does not accept borders. So in order to overcome this I added {border-collapse: collapse !important;} to the whole table which allowed me to add borders to rows, but it messed up the border around the whole table.

Because of {border-collapse: collapse !important;}, the properties border, padding, border-radius don't work for the table.

Which means I can either add a border around the whole table or add the separating lines, but not both.

How can I achieve the look I'm going for?

Answer 1

working with table border is boring, my suggestion is to use the border in td/th elements.

I created this table without style, only solving the problem of borders

   .table-class {
    border: 1px solid #dddddd;
    border-radius: 6px;
    padding: 30px;
    border-spacing: unset;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

.table-class thead th {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #dddddd;
    text-align: left;
}

.table-class tbody td {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #dddddd;
}

.table-class td:last-child, .table-class th:last-child {
    text-align: right;
}

.table-class th, .table-class td{
    padding: 10px;
}

<table class="table-class">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Custom Tattoo Desing - Small x 1</th>
      <th>
        <span><s>$99.00</s></span>
        <span>$80.00</span>
      </th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Subtotal</td>
      <td>$80.00</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <td>Total</td>
      <td>USD $80.00</td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

I'd go using flexbox, and setting flex: 1 or flex-grow: 1 to the first child of each "row":

* {margin:0; box-sizing: border-box;}
body {font: 16px/1.4 'Varela Round', sans-serif; padding: 20px;} /* DEMO ONLY */

/*
  Order
*/

.Order {
  border-radius: 5px;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  padding: 10px 25px
}

.Order-price {
  display: flex;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

.Order-price > * {
  padding: 10px 0;
}

.Order-price > *:first-child{
  flex: 1;
}

.Order-price:last-child {
  border-bottom: none;
}

.Order-price--sub {
  font-size: 1.2em;
  font-weight: 500;
}

.Order-price--tot {
  font-size: 1.4em;
  font-weight: 700;
}

.color-lighter {
  color: #999;
}
