See Table Formatting (p. 168) for details
about the table border models.
Value
Example
This style rule makes the table element
with the ID "results" use the collapsing
borders model:
#results {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
collapse selects the collapsing
borders model (the border-spacing and empty-cells properties will
be ignored)
separate selects the separated borders model (the border-spacing and
empty-cells properties will be taken into account)
Note that the initial value was collapse in CSS2, but it was changed to separate
in CSS2.1.
