How to add table borders Shopify Tutorial

By

Here’s a new question that we are going to review: “Why can’tI find style.css in my theme editor?” Shopify uses “css” files and in this case the original extension is “scss”. You can find this file in the theme file. Go to the Online Store, choose “Themes” and under “Actions” select “Edit code”. Now you need to go to the “Assets” folder and within it hit “theme.scss.liquid”, when Shopify processes this file it creates the “css” file automatically. Considering that, I want to add a border line outside this image, so what you need to do is to go to the shop site and hover on the image, then right click to open the tool lists, after that, click on “Inspect” and the selector tool will be open, you can also open it by pressing “Control + Shift + I”. When we open the inspect tool, it will appear a footer tools box, then we have to go to the left corner and click on the selector tool. This will highlight the specific ID that corresponds to the selected element. Once we have this code highlighted, we must copy it. By pasting the code of the previous element, I added: “Border: 1px solid #000;”, this code corresponds to a thin black border, then just click on “Save”. Once we’ve done all the previous steps, we just have to refresh the page we are editing and it should be working correctly.
