Table Borders: Between Groups of Columns

<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=4 RULES=GROUPS FRAME=BOX>

To set which columns are grouped together we use the <COLGROUP ...> tag. <COLGROUP ...> takes a little getting used to because it doesn't actually go around any table cells. It goes at the top of the table code where it sets rules about the table columns including which are grouped together. <COLGROUP SPAN="..."> to indicates how many columns are in each group. If you leave SPAN out then it is assumed the group has just one column. So, for example, the following code says that the first column is in a group by itself and the three after that are together in a group. Notice that <COLGROUP ...> requires an end tag. Borders will go only between the groups:

<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=4 RULES=GROUPS FRAME=BOX>



<COLGROUP></COLGROUP>

<COLGROUP SPAN=3></COLGROUP>

which gives us this table:

Weekday	Date	Manager	Qty
Monday	09/11	Kelsey	639
Tuesday	09/12	Lindsey	596
Wednesday	09/13	Randy	1135
Thursday	09/14	Susan	1002
Friday	09/15	Randy	908
Saturday	09/16	Lindsey	371
Sunday	09/17	Susan	272
