I am using a one-row, two-cell simpletable to create a note with an icon on the side. Obviously, the hazardstatement would be overkill and introduces a lot of extra incorrect semantics (the note is not at all a hazard).

To have the content showing up without the ugly table borders, I tried setting @frame="none" on the simpletable and that does indeed work. But I have not been able to remove the border between the two cells. I added a rule for this to the -topic-table-simpletable.css:

*[frame = "none"] *[class ~= "topic/stentry"]{
border: none;
}

In the CSS Inspector window I can see that the rule was recognised. It shows this (referencing the correct line in my adapted CSS):

*[frame='none'] *[class~='topic/stentry'] {
border-bottom-style : none ;
border-left-style : none ;
border-right-style : none ;
border-top-style : none ;
}

But the border is still showing. As the Author mode is supposed to be driven by CSS I am thinking this is a bug, but maybe I am overlooking something.

If anyone has another solution to making this work, let me know. At this point I am not yet worried about the final output - that is something I would be able to handle by adapting the CSS for the final product. I just want to have the Author mode show the right styling.

Hi Jang,

This is a bug on our side, we had it registered for a while but had not time yet to fix it:

Indeed from the CSS you cannot override the simple table borders.
If we manage to fix it in a future version I'll update this forum thread.

Thanks, Radu. I do hope you get the chance to fix this. The simpletable is very useful for this kind of non-hazardstatement notes.
