How can I apply a background color to the entire grid section in Webflow when using divs within each grid cell to create a table?

To apply a background color to the entire grid section in Webflow when you're using a grid layout and divs inside each cell to simulate a table:

1. Select the Grid Container Element

• Click on the grid wrapper or container div that manages the grid layout.
• This should be the main element with Display: Grid applied to it.

2. Apply Background Color to the Grid Element

• In the right-hand Style panel, scroll to the Backgrounds section.
• Click the color box and choose your desired background color.
• This color will now apply to the whole grid area, including gaps between the internal cells.

3. Ensure Internal Cell Divs Have Transparent Backgrounds

• Select one of the cell divs inside a grid cell.
• In the Style panel's Backgrounds section, remove any background color or set it to transparent.
• Repeat for all cell divs or apply a shared class to all of them to set this consistently.

4. Check Z-index and Padding

• Make sure the grid container isn't being covered by another element with a higher z-index.
• If needed, increase the container’s z-index or reduce any overlapping padding/margins from surrounding sections that may be hiding part of the background.

Summary

To apply a background color to the entire grid section, apply the background color to the grid container element, not to the internal divs inside each cell. Ensure the child divs have transparent backgrounds so the grid’s background color stays visible.
