You can use the col element as specified in HTML 4 0  link   It works in every browser  You can give it an ID or a class or an inline style  only caveat is that it affects the whole column across all rows  Example    lt table gt       lt col   gt       lt col width  50    gt       lt col id  anId    gt       lt col class  whatever    gt       lt col style  border 1px solid  000     gt       lt tbody gt           lt tr gt               lt td gt One lt  td gt               lt td gt Two lt  td gt               lt td gt Three lt  td gt               lt td gt Four lt  td gt               lt td gt Five lt  td gt           lt  tr gt       lt  tbody gt   lt  table gt

The  last-child selector should do it  but it s not supported in any version of IE   I m afraid you have no choice but to use a class

If you are already using javascript take a look at jQuery   It supports a browser independent  last-child  selector and you can do something like this      td last-child   css  border  none

User · Answer

try with   tr last-child td last-child      border none        any other style       this will only affect the very last td element in the table  assuming is the only one  else  you ll just have to identify your table   Though  is very general  and it will adapt to the last TD if you add more content to your  table  So if it is a particular case   td nth-child 5       border none      should be enough
