HTML Tutorials: Table Border Colors

The color of the table borders as a whole is set with the BORDERCOLOR attribute of the <TABLE ...> tag. For example, this code sets the border to red:

this code

produces this


<TABLE BORDER=10 BORDERCOLOR=RED>

<TR> <TD>carrots</TD> <TD>garlic</TD> </TR>

<TR> <TD>celery</TD>  <TD>onions</TD> </TR>

</TABLE>

carrots	garlic
celery	onions

Netscape and MSIE have very different ways of rendering BORDERCOLOR. Netscape maintains the 3-D appearance. MSIE renders all borders as the same color, making the border appear flat. MSIE also sets the color of the inner borders.
