Table Borders
To specify table borders in CSS, use the border property.
The example below specifies a black border for table, th, and td elements:
Notice that the table in the example above has double borders. This is because both the table and the th/td elements have separate borders.
To display a single border for the table, use the border-collapse property.
Collapse Borders
The border-collapse property sets whether the table borders are collapsed into a single border or separated:
Example
table
{
border-collapse:collapse;
}
table,th, td
{
border: 1px solid black;
}
{
border-collapse:collapse;
}
table,th, td
{
border: 1px solid black;
}

Table Width and Height
Width and height of a table is defined by the width and height properties.
The example below sets the width of the table to 100%, and the height of the th elements to 50px:
Table Text Alignment
The text in a table is aligned with the text-align and vertical-align properties.
The text-align property sets the horizontal alignment, like left, right, or center:
The vertical-align property sets the vertical alignment, like top, bottom, or middle:
Table Padding
To control the space between the border and content in a table, use the padding property on td and th elements:
Table Color
The example below specifies the color of the borders, and the text and background color of th elements:
Example
table, td, th
{
border:1px solid green;
}
th
{
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
{
border:1px solid green;
}
th
{
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
