Name
BORDER — NN all IE all HTML 3.2
Synopsis
BORDER=”pixelCount"Optional
The thickness (in pixels) of the border drawn around a
TABLE element. If you set the
BORDER attribute to any value, browsers by default
render narrow borders around each of the cells inside the table. The
thickness of internal borders between cells are defined by the
CELLSPACING attribute of the
TABLE element.
If you include only the BORDER attribute without
assigning any value to it, the browser renders default-sized borders
around the entire table and between cells, unless overridden by other
attributes.
Browsers render the border in a 3-D style, with the border appearing
to be raised around the flat content in the cells. Numerous other
attributes affect the look of the border, including:
BORDERCOLOR, BORDERCOLORDARK,
BORDERCOLORLIGHT, FRAME, and
RULES. The type of border rendered for tables is
different from the borders defined by style sheet rules. You get
better control of the border look by using the dedicated attributes
of the TABLE element.
Example
<TABLE BORDER=1>...</TABLE>

A positive integer value.
