I recently found a need for visible dividers (or "rules") between the
rows and columns of an org table exported to html. The most recent
discussion of this that I could find on gmane was
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/1709/match=table+rules+html
from 2007, which concluded that such rules weren't supported, so here's
a kludgey workaround I found today:
#+BEGIN_HTML
<pre>
|----+----+----+----|
| a0 | b0 | c0 | d0 |
|----+----+----+----|
| a1 | b1 | c1 | d1 |
|----+----+----+----|
| a2 | b2 | c2 | d2 |
|----+----+----+----|
</pre>
#+END_HTML
It isn't pretty, but it works when you really need visual separation of
rows and columns. Here's what it looks like in real life:

BTW, here's how I got the org-mode code sample onto the webpage:
#+begin_src org
#+BEGIN_HTML
<pre>
|----+----+----+----|
| a0 | b0 | c0 | d0 |
|----+----+----+----|
| a1 | b1 | c1 | d1 |
|----+----+----+----|
| a2 | b2 | c2 | d2 |
|----+----+----+----|
</pre>
#+END_HTML
#+end_src

Hi Bill,
If I understand your post correctly, I think this section of the manual
will help to accomplish what you are looking for---i.e., the creation of
special vertical lines in tables:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-groups.html#Column-groups
Also you change the appearance of tables using css.
Best,
Matt

Thanks, I'd missed that.

I'll take a look.

Also, since today, latest git version, you can use
#+ATTR_HTML: border="2" rules="all" frame="all"
before the table to modify the default table tag.
If you always want lines, modify the default table tag
in `org-export-html-table-tag'.

Thank you!
Before I update from git (or whatever the terminology is - I'm a cvs
guy), could I persuade you to apply Nick Dokos' patch to org-exp.el?
His patch is in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11862, and
the problem it solves is described in my initial message in the thread,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11857. In his patch
message, Nick offers a clear explanation of why the problem happens.
To summarize the problem, I'm prompted to kill a temp buffer when I
html-export an org file that contains these tags:
#+begin_src message
[...]
#+end_src
so when I export the containing project, I have to babysit the process
and answer 'y' to each query about killing the temp buffer. Here's a
full example that triggers the bug:
#+begin_src message
From: Nick Dokos <nicholas.dokos@hp.com>
Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Buffer *temp* modified; kill anyway?

(I like to provide fontified email excerpts in my per-project org files
for coworkers who read them on the web.)
Many thanks -

Bill,
Carsten applied the patch on March 5. Here's the description:
commit 6ccc6b46528ad70f2f3267a7e40c70494f5c2192
Author: Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Mar 5 00:01:50 2009 +0100
Export: Fix problem with exporting message mode src regions
Message-mode assigns auto-safe file names to temporary buffers, in the
draft directory. This causes problems when running message-mode in a
temporary buffer with with-temp-buffer. When the form tries to kill
the buffer, is asks for saving it....
This commit turns off the buffer-modified flag and so avoids the
query.
HTH,
Nick
