<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for clarifying that for me. I
did not realize that there was an order of precedence for border styles.
I guess that would make sense though, because you would need a way
to resolve different adjacent borders when doing a border-collapse.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The problem that I have with using "hidden"
though is that it appears to use the color white to do the hiding. If
I have a row where I've set the background color to 50% gray and I
use hidden on a border, I can still see where the border should be because
it is now white on a gray background. I would think that you would
want hidden to use the current background color.</font>

Remember that there are two kinds of precedence going on here, that <br>
of table vs column vs cell, and that of border style.<br>
<br>
There are two ways to get no border when dealing with the style:<br>
<br>
"none" - which has lower precedence than any other
border style<br>
"hidden" - which has higher precedence than any
other border style<br>

I don't think it is a bug. I just changed the second table to <br>
"hidden" and the left border cannot be seen.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>
