Creating HTML Table Borders


How To Create Table Borders?



There are two sets of borders within a table:

  • Outer Borders - Borders that around the outer edges of the table.
  • Inner Borders - Borders between table cells.

If you want to create table outer borders and inner borders, you can use the "border" attribute, which offers two functions:

  • Turning on or off both outer borders and inner borders.
  • Setting the thickness in pixels of outer borders.

Here are some examples of how the "border" attribute can be used:

  • <table border="8"> - Turns on both outer and inner borders. It also set outer borders to be 8-pixel thick. The inner border will be always 1-pixel thick.
  • <table border="0"> - Turns off both outer and inner borders.
  • <table> - Turns off the borders too, because the default is border="0"

Below is a tutorial example of tables with borders:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
  <title>Table with Borders</title>
  <h4>Online Order</h4>
  <table border="8">
<tr><td>Email Account</td><td>10</td><td>$9.90</td></tr>
<tr><td> Ad</td><td>1</td><td>$99.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>1-year Access</td><td>1</td><td>$199.00</td></tr>

If you save the above document as table_with_borders.html, and view it with Internet Explorer, you will see that the table is displayed with outer borders and inner borders between the cells as shown below:
