 * I am trying to make my table transparent and have managed to apply this to the
   majority but part of it is still grey.
 * the page is [jonnydowling.com/projects/level-short-film](http://jonnydowling.com/projects/level-short-film)
   and happening on the table containing the videos ‘portrait.’ and ‘LUPERCALIA 
   IV’.
 * This is the code I’ve used.
 * <table>
    <tbody> <td style=”background:transparent;”> <tr> <td><iframe src=”//
   www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SgseE0wTPI4?rel=0″ width=”254″ height=”143″ frameborder
   =”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”></iframe></td> <td><iframe src=”//www.
   youtube.com/embed/3ZgqAh5moLc” width=”254″ height=”143″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen
   =”allowfullscreen”></iframe></td> </tbody> </table>
 * Cheers,
    Jonny

 * I don’t see where that issue is – can you be more specific?

 * It is the grey box above the ‘portrait.’ video I am having trouble getting rid
   of.

 * tr:nth-child(2n+1) {
    background-color: #f3f3f3; }
 * Is the rule in your stylesheet that is causing the grey box.
 * How are you adding your customisation? You could try adding any CSS into a child
   theme including this:
 * tr:nth-child(2n+1) {
    background-color: none; }

 * All I am doing to add transparency is using <td style=”background:transparent;”
   >
 * Should I put the CSS into the CSS file of the theme I am using?

 * On the whole, you’re best to keep all styling in the stylesheets although there
   are reasons why you might not.
 * Having said that with WordPress, if you update in the future you are likely to
   overwrite your edits which is why child themes make a lot of sense.
 * If you want to continue with inline styles then you need to find that element
   in the table and style it accordingly.
