Forum:Wikitables - what is the default colour are the cells?

What colour are the cells in tables like these? Or does it depend on the browser? I know on cerain browsers columns 2 and 3 are hardly visible (partly I guess depending on monitor settings), while others will actually still show a line at the end of the final column to close the table. But if I wanted to hide some of the grid lines, what colour hexcode should I make them to make them least likely to be visible, as I suspect white is not the best choice?

I think its transparent, but this can be changed for a color or picture by coding. Stevenator Sand


 * This is my point though - assuming by transparent you mean the same colour as the background to this text, it isn't. Or at least not in all browsers. I'm currently typing on AOL which looks pretty transparent but I can't be sure as I have an outside border all the way around. I've also got the page open in IE which only has the lines I've added, but you can still see the edges because there is a feint colour there. EmmerdaleWiki   Talk    00:21, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes by transparent I mean the same as the background. Thats odd though. Scence I, never had this problem... This is odd, what is you background color? Mabey that has somthing to do with it. Stevenator Sand Modified chat icon talk page.png
 * My background is plain old white! You can't see a feint bluey-grey tint for the bottom right cells? EmmerdaleWiki   Talk      01:25, February 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Interesting. From your example I've learned something about how Firefox, Chrome and IE differ when it comes to error handling for badly coded tables.


 * To answer you question about background color, the class "wikitable" has a default background color of #F9F9F9 due to Wikia's CSS styles, and browser type has no effect on that. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 02:15, February 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help! Althugh now I've tried it out it doesn't look right but it's interesting to know none-the-less. AOL looks like the firefox version. I can't see a difference between the Chrome and IE ones, and I've tried it in both those browsers! What am I missing?! EmmerdaleWiki   Talk      02:46, February 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Chrome and IE versions are identical as far as I can tell. My point was just that the three most commonly used browsers are not necessarily the same when it comes to error handling. --Gardimuer { ʈalk }
 * Ah OK. I was obviously tireder than I realised last night - I really DID want to know the answer to the question, and I'm grateful you've come along with the right answer! Thank you! EmmerdaleWiki   Talk      08:25, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
