If anyone reading this is uncomfortable with the subject of abortion I suggest you move on. This is a little political reference I created for my own personal use on my own personal phone — no one else’s! It therefore has a width. It’s the only way I could get it to render properly. The document consists primarily of 3 tables with nth child striping, one of which — the very first table — consists of just 2 rows.
I’ve limped this along as far as I can get it but it has 3 problems that just stump me, notwithstanding the fact that I went through the entire document and scrupulously placed every style in LOWER CASE Paul.
Where are my COLORS? The second table should show 6 of the democratic candidates styled in CRIMSON. Only 2 are showing. I have a little grey in the first table that doesn’t render . . . there’s a string in blue in the second footnote mia. Others. I’m uploading a graphic of what this document is supposed to look like but I won’t offend you all with the code because it has CAPS. I’m trying to do this the right way (most of it validates). Codepen below.
Why isn’t my styling rendering the
—Title
—Hilitea (Class 1)
—Hiliteb (They will come ~~)
—Hilitec (Increased voter turnout!)
—and the final blurb (SEE “Baldwin once again hopes ~~)
. . . CENTERED?
And then (an easy one) could someone please help me figure out how to lose the bottom border of the first table? the little 2-row table that I want sitting immediately above the header for the main table. I’m never good with these damn table borders.
I have honestly exhausted everything I think could have affected the output so . . . PAUL!? ARCHIBALD!? Anyone? Your help is much appreciated.
I have the Codepen at

Aside: it would be better just to have CSS in the CSS box of the Pen and just HTML (without the body tag) in the HTML box of the Pen. Then you know what you’re really working with. Other than that, it’s hard to see where one table ends and another starts. Not easy to explore and debug this. Could you maybe simplify it to just highlight the issues?

In Crimson:
<span class="crim">Sherrod Brown</span>
Not in Crimson:
<span class="CRIM">Bob Casey, Jr.</span>
I’d tell you to spot the difference, but you’ve already told us you fixed the difference…
.title {
margin-top: 1.25rem;
margin-bottom: 1.25rem;
font-family: "henny penny", serif;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 3.13rem;
line-height: 2.5rem;
}
What part of that styling is supposed to be making it centered?
Tell .table1 to apply border-bottom: none;

RE: Styles not rendering
Use @imports in your css instead.
When you select your font in google fonts, click on ‘get fonts’, then ‘get embed code’, then the @import tab. This will give you the import code to copy and paste into the top of your css.
So remove this from your CSS

Okay Ralph. Let me look at the comments.
Russell thank you. I’m not sure why altering the fonts in my header addresses issues with color and centering but I’ll plug it in and try it and report back.
I’m sorry Russell but I can’t seem to piece this together properly. Would you mind just posting the whole page for me here? Please don’t leave anything out. I’m getting gobbledigook.
I’m sorry Russel but this just gives me a white page with the code run together. Thank you anyway.

Use
M_hutley, when I couldn’t get these blocks of text to center I just placed the < center > inline. I thought I had cleaned it up for the version I posted here but apparently not. Some of the colors don’t show up as I mentioned previously. I’m doing this on a smartphone so cut me some slack. Anyone else doing this on their phone I highly recommend the Android app Quick Edit. I’d lose my mind coding if it weren’t for QE.
Your simple fix of border-bottom: none for losing that bottom border doesn’t work as this:
.table1 {
width: 100%;
border-bottom: none;
border: .63rem groove cyan;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-family: ‘courier prime’, monospace;
font-size: 2.5rem;
line-height: 2.63rem;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
}
so I’ll try spelling out all four sides. I just wish there were some shortcut method. And I’ve obviously got to create two tables, not just the one (or I lose the bottom border on both tables!).
Lost the pesky bottom border but again — I wish there were a shorter way of accomplishing this:
.table1 {
width: 100%;
border-top: .63rem groove cyan;
border-right: .63rem groove cyan;
border-bottom: none;
border-left: .63rem groove cyan;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-family: ‘courier prime’, monospace;
font-size: 2.5rem;
line-height: 2.63rem;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
}
And I fixed the coloring (I apparantly didn’t lower-case my colors ahem). Paul laughing.
Now I just have missing centering. Have I completely lost you Ralph? I’m sorry!
put the border-bottom after the border, and it’ll overwrite correctly. CSS properties are applied in-order.
At least for the title div, text-align:center
will do the job, because it’s a full-width block element.
Yikes. I’ve coded things on many devices over the years, but that’s beyond the pale for me

m_hutley . . …you have no idea how difficult it is to do this on a smartphone.
We’re down to one pesky issue: centering the three blocks known as “hilitex”. If I get that fixed I’m good to go and then I recommend we shelf this whole thread. I didn’t know politics were verboten here at Sitepoint and I’m perfectly comfortable trashing the entire thread . . . AFTER we fix my centering heh heh. Deal?
Should I just place the centering inline m_hutley and call it a day?
Personally, i’d wrap them in a div that’s been set to text-align center. A span really should be inside some sort of proper block level container.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess this is the solution. Bravo! And now do you know why I couldn’t get my last little block of text to center? It’s because it was sharing a style with another block of text that wasn’t centered. That one deserves the D’Uh award roflmao.
So you see, these were all dumb little edits that just took a reexamination of the code and plucking out every color I still had in caps and turning it to lower case. Your comment on div vs. span is brilliant.
Lock her up Sitepoint. Until next time . . .
