Definition and Usage

The border attribute specifies the width of the borders around a table.
The border attribute applies a border to each cell, and around the table. If the value of the border attribute is changed, only the size of the border around the table will change. The border inside the table will be 1 pixel.
Tip: Set border="0" to display tables with no borders.
For practical reasons, it may be better not to specify borders, and use CSS to apply border styles and color instead.
