== Summary ==
The border-collapse property is used to make the border collapse. This has a big influence on the look and style of the table cells.
<br>
The rendering of table borders is divided into two categories in CSS2 - "collapsed" and "separated". This property specifies which border rendering mode to use. In the collapsed border model, adjacent table cells share borders.
<br>
In the separated model, adjacent cells each have their own distinct borders (the distance between them given by the 'border-spacing' property.)

'''Inherited: Yes'''

== Syntax ==
border-style: value optionalvalue2 optionalvalue3 optionalvalue4

== Legal Values ==

<table border = "1" width="350">

<tr>
<th>Value</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>


<tr>
<td>inherit</td>
<td>Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent.</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>collapse</td>
<td>Use the "collapsed borders" rendering model</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>seperate</td>
<td>Use the "separated borders" rendering model</td>
</tr>


</table>

== Mozilla Recommended Values ==

== Usage Examples ==

<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="500">

== Notes ==

In the "collapsed border" rendering model, the 'border-style' value of "inset" behaves like "groove", and "outset" behaves like "ridge."
CSS2 specifies that the initial value for this property is "collapse", but CSS2.1 and Mozilla/Opera all state or behave such that the initial value is "separate."


== Specification Conformance ==
CSS1 Conformance: Browsers are allowed to treat values of dotted, dashed, groove, ridge, inset, outset and double as the value solid.

== Browser Compatibility ==

Browser Compatibility: IE 4+ / NN 4+
