Non Uniform Dashed Border in Table Cells

Question

I have applied CSS border-bottom:1px dashed #494949; on several consecutive cells of a single row of an HTML table, but the border is not uniform. The dashes at the end of each cell appear little longer. Dotted border is also not uniform. I am also using border-collapse:collapse;

Here is the screenshot:

Is there any way I can get uniform dashed border?

Answer 1

The way I fixed this problem on my app was by adding an extra row with the same colspan as the row with the dashed border. The border will be uniform to the length of the span:

<table>
    <!--row with dashed border-->
      <tr>
          <td style = "border-bottom: 1px dashed green;" colspan="3"></td>
      </tr>
    <!--added row so dotted border looks uniform-->
      <tr>
          <td style="height: 5px;" colspan="3"></td>
      </tr>
    <!--existing rows with lots of columns-->
      <tr>
          <td></td>
          <td></td>
          <td></td>
      </tr>
</table>
