Choosing Which Borders to Display

When you use the BORDER tag (see page 146), a border appears between each cell and also around the table itself. HTML 4 lets you choose which external sides of the table should have a border as well as which internal borders should be displayed.

To choose which external sides should have a border:

In the TABLE tag, after the required BORDER attribute, type FRAME=location, where location is one of the values listed below:

• void, for no external borders

• above, for a single border on top

• below, for a single border on bottom

• hsides, for a border on both the top and bottom sides

• vsides, for a border on both the right and left sides

• rhs, for a single border on the right side

• lhs, for a single border on the left side

• box or border, for a border on all sides (default)
