HTML tables can have borders of different styles and shapes.
How To Add a Border
To add a border, use the CSS border property on table , th , and td elements:
table, th, td
{
border: 1px solid black;
}Collapsed Table Borders
To avoid having double borders like in the example above, set the CSS border-collapse property to collapse .
This will make the borders collapse into a single border:
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}Style Table Borders
If you set a background color of each cell, and give the border a white color (the same as the document background), you get the impression of an invisible border:
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid white;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
background-color: #96D4D4;
}Round Table Borders
With the border-radius property, the borders get rounded corners:
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid
black;
border-radius: 10px;
}Skip the border around the table by leaving out table from the css selector:
th, td {
border: 1px solid
black;
border-radius: 10px;
}Dotted Table Borders
With the border-style property, you can set the appearance of the border.
The following values are allowed
- dotted
- dashed
- solid
- double
- groove
- ridge
- inset
- outset
- none
- hidden
th, td {
border-style: dotted;
}Border Color
With the border-color property, you can set the color of the border.
th, td {
border-color: #96D4D4;
}
