CSS - border-collapse
Description
border-collapse determines the border model used in the rendering of a table.
Possible Values
collapse − Borders are collapsed to make a single border. Two adjacent cells will share a border.
separate − Borders are separated. Every cell has its own border, and none of these borders are shared with other cells in the table.
Applies to
Elements with a display of table or inline-table.
DOM Syntax
object.style.borderCollapse = "Any of the two values";
Example
Following is the example to show both values −
<html>
<head>
<style type = "text/css">
table.one {border-collapse:collapse;}
table.two {border-collapse:separate;}
td.a {
border-style:dotted;
border-width:3px;
border-color:#000000;
padding: 10px;
}
td.b {
border-style:solid;
border-width:3px;
border-color:#333333;
padding:10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class = "one">
<caption>Collapse Border Example</caption>
<tr><td class = "a"> Cell A Collapse Example</td></tr>
<tr><td class = "b"> Cell B Collapse Example</td></tr>
</table>

<table class = "two">
<caption>Separate Border Example</caption>
<tr><td class = "a"> Cell A Separate Example</td></tr>
<tr><td class = "b"> Cell B Separate Example</td></tr>
