Table Border

The HTML Table Border attribute sets the width of Border around the table and table cells. We can set the Border attributes in pixels.

<table border="2">

In the above HTML code we set the Border attribute to 2, this applies a border to each cell, and to the table as a whole. But whatever values you to set in the Border attribute, only the size of the border around the table will change, the border of the table cells remain 1 pixel width.

HTML Source Code :

<html>
  <body >
    <table border=5>
      <tr>
        <td>
          January
        </td>
        <td>
          February
        </td>
      </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>
        March
      </td>
      <td>
        April
      </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

In the above HTML code we set border=5 , you can see only the Border around the table will change the size to 5 , but cells border inside the table will remain 1 pixel.
