 * Hi Tobias,
    Thank you so much for the great plugin. I have a question though.
   In one of my Tablepress tables I want to remove the top and left hand side border
   of a single cell. Is this possible?
 * The table isn’t live yet so I have taken a screen capture with arrows pointing
   at the problem area: [http://screencast.com/t/iiNahz5C28Dq](http://screencast.com/t/iiNahz5C28Dq).
 * Would you be able to help?
 * Shirley

 * Hi Shirley,
 * thanks for your question.
 * Yes, this should be possible, but the exact code that does this depends on different
   things, like for example the theme’s CSS code.
 * Please try this CSS code (to be entered into the “Custom CSS” textarea, with 
   an adjusted table ID):
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 .row-1 .column-1 {
         border-left: none !important;
         border-right: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * If that does not help, I’d need to take a direct look at the page with the table,
   so that we might need to wait with this until the site is live or at least accessible
   on the internet.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
    Unfortunately that didn’t work, but I have published the page with
   the table so that you can take a look:

 * Hi Shirley,
 * thanks for the link! That helps a lot!
 * First of all, there’s a typo in the CSS. Somehow the `.` in front of `row-1` 
   disappeared. Please re-add that.
    Then, the problem is that in the CSS immediatally
   following the CSS from above, you are setting a border on the table as well, 
   and you are using a value of 0.2px, which is not possible. So, please also change
   the CSS code block
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-70,
       .tablepress-id-70 tr,
       .tablepress-id-70 tbody td,
       .tablepress-id-70 thead th,
       .tablepress-id-70 tfoot th {
       	border: .2px solid #eeeeee;
       	vertical-align: middle;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-70 tbody td,
       .tablepress-id-70 thead th,
       .tablepress-id-70 tfoot th {
       	border: 1px solid #eeeeee;
       	vertical-align: middle;
       }
       ```
