cs(s) question

rookie css/html/js/php genie here

trying to design a nice looking webpage using a table  but can't exactly figure out how to get a horizontal rule for my <th> tag and a verticle bar for regular table body tages

kind of like

__________header_____
 bullshit  | info

using css

as when I


<table>
<tr>
<th> header </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td border = "1px">  bullshit </td>
<td> info </td> 
</tr>

it expands the first td cell to the size of the first th cell

leaving the css out for the time being until I figure out the html....

I love you...

No problem, you're always welcome.

thank you

This is a general intellect warning. Please stay calm and do not under any circumstance procreate.
Infraction description: using tables for layout like its 1996.

That's still the best thing to do, in most cases. Only reddit hipsters think otherwise.

what do you recommend then?

I wish it was still 1996. Back when websites looked like books with links, not the bloated JS filled monstrosities they are today.

Hover menus are also a bad thing. I want to go fast, but my cursor keeps falling off and I have to  go back and do it again.

I know that feeling. I really hate all those WATCH MY NUDE GF blinking and distracting me from reading articles.

PIG DISGUSTING

This (and other `grid frameworks') bug me. Why not just set the widths and heights yourself? Once you've laid your website out how you want it, chances are it's going to stay that way. Why all the superfluous CSS?

it's just an easy default way to have things spaced nicely and lined up on a grid. it's annoying to waste time fucking with form element spacing, for example. grid frameworks have default styles where forms, text, headings, etc should all be nicely spaced and lined up.
