C'mon* Jonathan, of course I know about examples and trying to
read the essentials through them. But please read what I said. I
specifically discounted the particular colour issue. I was
pointing to what I perceived to be a deeper problem. Which can be
seen if you do what I indicated.
Since it is you, if you cannot see what I am talking about, I
will dig it out and make you a nice pic of what I see with your
code when someone wants to have a plain white bg. Also a pic of
where there is a tint (it really is not the colour that matters
but the intruding of it into the main table border).
I would have thought the natural thing would be to have the row
that ends just before the gap showing its normal bottom border
(made up of the composing cell bottom borders), then a gap that
does not break the main table thick border. Perhaps what I see is
browser dependent but it appears on my Safari and FF.
No offence, Jonathan, but old B's solution, visually if not
semantically, looked a better bet. But you may be able to modify
yours and have the whole world.
In a way, it is not just about what the OP might accept, the fact
is that he has thrown a carcass into this lion's den and we are
having a chew. <g>
