For styling the tables with CSS, we can set borders, collapse, set width and height. We can also set the padding, alig text in it, etc. Let us see some examples −
Example
To add borders to a table in CSS, use the borders property. Let us now see an example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 2px dashed orange;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Team Ranking Table</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>India</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>200</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>England</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>180</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Australia</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>150</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>NewZealand</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>130</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SouthAfrica</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>WestIndies</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>80</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Pakistan</td>
<td>7</td>
<td>70</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Output
Example
To collapse table borders, use the border-collapse property in CSS. Let us see an example to collapse table borders −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
th, td {
border: 2px dashed yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Team Ranking Table</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>India</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>200</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>England</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>180</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Australia</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>150</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>NewZealand</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>130</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SouthAfrica</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>WestIndies</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>80</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Pakistan</td>
<td>7</td>
<td>70</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Output
Example
To set the space between border and content, use the padding property as in the below example −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
table#demo {
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Team Ranking Table</h2>
<table id="demo">
<tr>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>India</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>200</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>England</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>180</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Australia</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>150</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>NewZealand</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>130</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SouthAfrica</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>100</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Output
