Help with table styling?

    More or less, I want it so each TD is its own separate thing so like… a page with the table would look like this:

    (The greyish portions of the background should actually be a translucent very dark blue/black)

    Right now I actually have it 5 across per row. Would I need to do a separate table for each one for it to be flexible/have spaces? Or is there a way to code it to look something like that?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    While something like this could be possible with some rather complex CSS code (which I don’t have readily available at the moment), I recommend to not do this.
    In modern webdesign, tables should only be used for presenting actual tabular data, but they should not be used for design/styling purposes (like showing grid layouts). For this, you should consider modern approaches based on HTML containers like <div> and CSS code for styling and positioning.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    It’s okay! Thank you for responding.

    Thank you for letting me know. I’ll go back to playing around with divs then–the post/page itself just seemed to react very… weirdly to them (it handled tablepress much better) which is why I wanted to see if it was possible with Tablepress.

    Hopefully I can get it to work properly with divs and CSS eventually.
