CSS table

CSS Table

Using CSS can greatly improve the appearance of HTML tables.


Table border

Specify the CSS table border using the border attribute.

The following example specifies a black border for the Th and TD elements of a table:

        <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
    <style>
        table,th,td
        {
            border:1px solid black;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>数学</th>
        <th>语文</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>90</td>
        <td>98</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>95</td>
        <td>94</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Note: The table in the example above has double borders. This is because the table and th/td elements have separate boundaries.

To display a single border of a table, use the border-collapse property.


Collapse border

border-collapse property sets whether the border of the table is collapsed into a single border or partition Open:

       <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
    <style>
        table {
            border-collapse: collapse;
        }

        table, td, th {
            border: 1px solid black;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>数学</th>
        <th>语文</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>90</td>
        <td>98</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>95</td>
        <td>94</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

<meta charset="utf-8"> 
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
