I generate code to refer people to bookstores that generates a table
without internal borders. You can see an example on
http://mindprod.com/environment/kyoto.html
I can use this element nested in a table without borders just fine.
However if I use it in a bordered table as on
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/who.html
It becomes a mess. Every cell gets a border, overriding the normal
borderless styles.
So my question. How do I get the inner style to take precedence over
the outer style? Are they always both applied?
Is there some way to build a firewall around an element so that it
always renders the same no matter what the context?
In other words is there a way to turn off the cascading in cascading
style sheets?
I looked around on the web, and people seem to handle the problem by
abandoning tables altogether. This struck me as strange since the
markup was more verbose and more brittle. I'd only see you doing it
to create arbitrary forms, not simple grids.
