Flexibility: Tables

No absolutes

Custom CSS: Life, Simplified

Hiding form labels? Easy. .hidden{

position: absolute;left:-10000px;top: auto;width:1px;height:1px;overflow: hidden;}

}

Making data tables readable and accessible? No problem.table.blackborder{

border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black;}

 .blackborder th{

text-align: center; border: 1px solid black; }

 .blackborder td{

padding: 0% 1% 0%; border: 1px solid black;}<label class=“hidden” for=“[id

name]”> [descriptive label]</label>

<table class=“blackborder”>
