CSS Table
Using CSS can greatly improve the appearance of HTML tables.
Table border
Specify the CSS table border using the border attribute.
The following example specifies a black border for the Th and TD elements of a table:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table,th,td
{
border:1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>数学</th>
<th>语文</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>90</td>
<td>98</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>95</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Run the program to try it
Note: The table in the example above has double borders. This is because the table and th/td elements have separate boundaries.
To display a single border of a table, use the border-collapse property.
Collapse border
border-collapse property sets whether the border of the table is collapsed into a single border or partition Open:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table, td, th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>数学</th>
<th>语文</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>90</td>
<td>98</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>95</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Run the program and try it
Table width and height
Width and height attributes define the table width and height.
The following example is a table that sets the width of 100% and the height of the th element to 50 pixels:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table,td,th
{
border:1px solid black;
}
table
{
width:100%;
}
th
{
height:50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Savings</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Peter</td>
<td>Griffin</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lois</td>
<td>Griffin</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td>
<td>Swanson</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cleveland</td>
<td>Brown</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>Run the program to try it
Table text alignment
Text alignment and vertical alignment properties in the table.
The text-align property sets the horizontal alignment, like left, right, or center:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table,td,th
{
border:1px solid black;
}
td
{
text-align:right;
}
</style>
</head>

<td>Joe</td>
<td>Swanson</td>
<td>0</td>

</table>

Vertical alignment property sets vertical alignment, such as top, bottom or middle:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table, td, th
{
border:1px solid black;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>php中文网(php.cn)</title>
<style>
table, td, th
{
border:1px solid black;
}
td
{
padding:15px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
