CSS border-collapse

The CSS border-collapse property allows you to collapse a table's border. It can have an effect similar to HTML's cellpadding (except that technically, border-collapse makes the border "collapse" rather than simply adjust the padding).

Syntax:	border-collapse: <value>
Possible Values:	collapse separate inherit
Initial Value:	Separate
Applies to:	'table' and 'inline-table' elements.
Inherited:	Yes
Media:	Visual
Example:	table.collapse {border-collapse:collapse}
Try it yourself!	<style type="text/css"> table.collapse { border-width:3px; border-style:solid; border-color:#ff9900; border-collapse:collapse; } </style> <table class="collapse"> <tr><td>This table is styled using the CSS border-collapse model. Try changing the value to see the effect it has on the border. The effect is similar to HTML's cellpadding, except that technically, border-collapse makes the border "collapse" rather than simply adjust the padding.</td></tr> </table>
