Browser Support
All major browsers support the border attribute.
Definition and Usage
The border attribute specifies whether a border should be displayed around the table cells.
The value "1" indicates that a border should be displayed, and the table is not used for layout purposes.
Note: This attribute is deprecated. The table element should use CSS to customize styles. The CSS properties border, border-color, border-width, and border-style can achieve the same effect.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
In HTML5, the border attribute is only used to indicate whether the table is used for layout purposes, and only the attribute values "" or "1" are allowed.
Syntax
<table border="1">
Attribute Values
