CSS Properties Used with <TABLE> Tag
CSS provides various properties that can be used with <TABLE> tag to accomplish various tasks.
They are border, border-style, border-color, border-spacing, width, padding, background-color
and color. These are global properties of CSS which means that these can be used with any
element of HTML. Let us see how to use these properties with <TABLE> tag while creating a
table in HTML.
Using Border Property
The border property of CSS allows you to apply a border to an element of HTML like <TABLE>.
For example:
<style>
table, th, td{border:2px;}
</style>
Preceding code will apply a border of 2px to the table.
Using Border-style Property
The border-style property is used to apply the outline style of border of the table or any other
element. To use this property, it is necessary to use the border property. CSS provides different
types of border styles which are Dotted, Dashed, Solid, Double, Groove, Ridge, Inset, Outset,
None and Hidden. You can use any one of these styles at a time. If you use the None style, the
border will not appear. For example:
<style>
table, th, td {border:2px; border-style:solid;}
</style>
Using Border-color Property
The border-color property allows you to apply a color to the border. For example:
<style>
table, th, td
{
