Table Borders
To specify table borders in CSS, use the border property.
Firstname | Lastname |
---|---|
Peter | Griffin |
Lois | Griffin |
Example
Full-Width Table
Firstname | Lastname |
---|---|
Peter | Griffin |
Lois | Griffin |
Example
Double Borders
To remove double borders, take a look at the example below.
Collapse Table Borders
The border-collapse property sets whether the table borders should be collapsed into a single border:
Firstname | Lastname |
---|---|
Peter | Griffin |
Lois | Griffin |
Example
Firstname | Lastname |
---|---|
Peter | Griffin |
Lois | Griffin |
HTML Table Borders
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:
Example
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:
Example
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:
Example
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:
Example
Skip the border around the table by leaving out table from the css selector:
Example
Dotted Table Borders
With the border-style property, you can set the appearance of the border.
The following values are allowed:
Example
Border Color
With the border-color property, you can set the color of the border.
Example
COLOR PICKER
