Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The rules attribute is supported in all major browsers.

Note: The rules attribute is not supported in IE, prior version 9.

Note: Chrome and Safari displays this attribute incorrectly: They add the affected outside borders in addition to the inside borders.

Definition and Usage

The rules attribute specifies which parts of the inside borders that should be visible.

For practical reasons, it may be better to not specify any rules, and use CSS instead.
