I produce puzzles as a business, so the tables that I have on my webpages are crossword diagrams, Sudoku diagrams, chess diagrams, and so forth. When these are drawn using double lines, shading, 3-dimensional effects, or other fanciful decoration this detracts from the purpose and the content of the diagram. It also wastes a huge amount of space. The double lines are 6 pixels wide, instead of the 2 pixels for a normal line. For a 9x9 Sudoku, that's 40 wasted pixels. The reader needs that spce for wing the puzzle. For a large format 25x25 crossword, that's 104 wasted pixels in each direction. Even if the table contains ordinary text, the ornate borders distract and detract from the contents.

It can be trivially achieved with code similar to the following: table { border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black; } 52740 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:03:57 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
