Thanks @dawoodkhan82 this generally looks good. However, I noticed two issues:

(1) The datatype parameter is not respected. For example, if you modify the chatbot_core_components demo to instead return:

        content = gr.Dataframe(
            interactive=True,
            headers=["One", "Two", "Three"],
            col_count=(3, "fixed"),
            row_count=(3, "fixed"),
            datatype="markdown",
            value=[["abc", "**def**", "ghi"], ["jkl", "mno", "pqr"], ["stu", "vwx", "yz"]],
            label="Dataframe",
        )

you don't get the Markdown rendering that you would expect:

(2) There is a thick gray border around the dataframe that shouldn't be there, as you can see in the screenshot above

Still seeing a double border, if you compare the border of the dataframe message with that of other chat messages. Particular prominent in the corners:

@abidlabs Hmm yeah I noticed that too. I removed the border around the message bubble for dataframe messages. And the only remaining border is the dataframe border itself. Let me take another look.

@abidlabs Fixed
