What I'd like ...

1. entire table centered on page, with maybe 10% margins left and right

2. 3px solid bottom border below header row

3. 1px dotted border between each data row

4. some way to specify the width (by percent??) for each of the columns, 25%, 25%. 50%

...

So if someone (or someones) can offer a little guidence I'd appreciate it. As always, suggestions are ALWAYS welcome

Thanks

Something like this:

table {
    width: 90%;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: center;
    border: 3px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

th {
    font-style: italic;
    height: 3em;
    vertical-align: middle;
    padding: 5px;
    border-bottom: 3px solid black;
    background-color: #8fbc8f;
}

tr {
    margin-top: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    height: 2em;
}

tr:nth-child(even) { /* this selector doesn't work in ADE */
    background-color: #BDE1BD;
}

tr:nth-child(odd) { /* this selector doesn't work in ADE */
    background-color: #F0FFF0;
}

td {
   padding: 5px;
   border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}

td.first, td.second {
   width: 25%; /* width of the first and second columns */
}

td.third {
   width: 50%; /* width of the third column */
}

And in the .html file:

<table>
  <thead>
      <tr>
        <th colspan="3">FIRST ROW</th>
      </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
     <tr>
        <td class="first">1</td>

        <td class="second">2</td>

        <td class="third">3</td>
     </tr>

     <tr>
        <td>4</td>

        <td>5</td>

        <td>6</td>
     </tr>

     <tr>
        <td>7</td>

        <td>8</td>

        <td>9</td>
     </tr>

     <tr>
        <td>10</td>

        <td>11</td>

        <td>12</td>
     </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
