* Hi,
* I’m trying to get rid of a border/row lines on a table I’m trying to build. No
matter what I do, I keep getting a faint line around the table and in between
the rows:
* [http://tinypic.com/r/9b9o1v/8](http://tinypic.com/r/9b9o1v/8)
* Below is the code for the table. Is there *any* way that I could edit the code
to force no border? I’m banging my head up against a wall trying to make this
work! Any help or suggestions would tremendously be appreciated. Tx, Judy

* Anyone know whether it’s possible or not to get rid of these “ghost” lines around
the table & rows? I don’t want to spin my wheels if it’s going to be impossible
to get rid of them and will need to move onto something else… TIA, Judy

* I had the same problem, but as it turns out, there was a css setting in the theme
that was giving the default light grey borders.
* Just added a css option to remove that.

* I have the same issue, and this is a site I manage for someone, and they need
to be able to easily update it.
* The recent TinyMCE update has taken out the table formatting features, so can’t
get rid of theme set borders on one specific table without affecting other tables
on the site, unless I have a class/id on the actual table, or there is a way
in the editor to remove the border – which there now isn’t.
* I want to be able to specify a class or ID on the specific table, without directly
editing HTML – this is not a solution for non-technical CMS end users.
* I will tell my users to call me if they mess up the table, previously I have
told than to add a class in the advanced tab which does all formatting for them
from pre-set css. Cant do that now.
* This is a massive retrograde step by tinymce, all the workrounds are not ideal
for end users.
* Frustrating!!

* Thanks, zmokin, I’ll look into finding the css option that will turn off the
default light grey table borders. Real PITA with all the retro “upgrades” on
TinyMCE’s part, though.

* The next version will include the updated “table” plugin that is able to set
table border color again.
