CSS Style in SAS: Outside Double Border and Inside Solid Border

Foxer — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:32:55 GMT

I'm new to CSS styling in SAS so bear with me. I'm trying to get a double outside border and solid inside border using the following code, which is edited in Notepad++ and then called into a SAS ODS output using cssstyle= in an ODS RTF statement:

.table {    border: medium double black;    color: #000000;    font-family: 'Arial', 'Arial';    font-size: 10pt;    font-style: normal;    font-weight: normal;
 }
.proctitle{    color: #000000;    font-family: Arial, 'Albany AMT', Arial;    font-size: x-small;    font-style: normal;    font-weight: bold;
 }
.systemtitle{    font-family: Arial, 'Albany AMT', Arial;    font-size: large;    font-weight: 14pt;    color: black;
 }
.header, .rowheader, .footer, .rowfooter{    color: black;    font-size: 10pt;    font-family: Arial, 'Albany AMT', Arial;    background-color: #ffffff;    font-weight: bold;    text-align: center;    vertical-align: middle;    padding: 10px;
}
.data{    font-size: 10pt;    font-family: Arial, 'Albany AMT', Arial;    background-color: #ffffff;    text-align: center;    vertical-align: middle;    padding: 10px;    border: medium solid black;
 }

However, this creates a the first table shown below. I'd like to get it to look like the second table shown below. Stack Exchange users suggested I come here as they have not found an answer. I appreciate any insight!

I am sorry, you must be mistaken. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is something associated with Web Pages, its not really a SAS issue. What are you attempting to do (i.e. what output format, what code are you using etc.)? Is this something generated by the SAS system? Maybe look here:

Hi:
Whether this works as you want depends on the destination of choice. For example, CSSSTYLE only works with RTF, PDF, HTML, but not other destinations like CSV (for example). And how border specifications are used by each destination, in particular could be different. You don't show all your code, just the CSS -- what is your destination of interest??? Can you post ALL your code and a sample of your DATA???

What I have pasted above is the full code in a text editor, saved as a .css file (in this case, named TESTFOX.css). I'm using ODS RTF as shown below:

DATA TEST;
	INPUT CAR $10. YEAR;
	DATALINES;
	FORD	1995
	HONDA	1998
	CHEVY	2001
	;
RUN;

ODS RTF FILE="C:\USERS\DOCUMENTS\TEST.RTF" CSSSTYLE='C:\USERS\DOCUMENTS\TESTFOX.CSS';
PROC PRINT DATA=TEST NOOBS;
RUN;
ODS _ALL_ CLOSE;

Attached is what the table looks like. There is the double outside border, but there is no inside solid border.
