While working on a clientÂ’s site, I came up with this handy snippet of CSS. I donÂ’t know why I had never thought of cascading the CSS for the table styles before. Its able to produce some interesting effects playing with the background, margin and padding. You can add borders too. If you want to go further, add some tdÂ’s and trÂ’s to see how they effect the nested tables.
table table.contentpaneopen {background:#eee;margin:0 10px;padding:3px;}
