column styling

[Jeff Thies]

Typical table

<table>
<tr><th>field 1</th><th class="field2">field 2</th></tr>
<tr><td>data 1</td><td>data 2</td></tr>
....

Is there a way to style field2 (other than adding classnames in each row) so
that it would affect the whole column?

The only styles you can apply to columns are borders, backgrounds, width
and visibility. See http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1070385285&count=1

In theory, using the <colgroup> element, although support is patchy.
