The border-collapse property in CSS is used to control the border model for table elements. It determines whether adjacent table cell borders and spacing should be collapsed into a single border or if they should be kept separate.

Note: The border-collapse property can take values like collapse and separate.

Syntax:

/* Collapsing table borders and spacing */
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

Features:

• border-collapse Property:
  • collapse: Collapses adjacent table cell borders and spacing into a single border. This is the default value.
  • separate: Keeps the borders and spacing of adjacent table cells separate.
• Affects Border Style: The border-collapse property affects the rendering of borders, especially when styling individual cells.
• Cross-Browser Compatibility: While most modern browsers support border-collapse, it’s advisable to test and ensure consistent rendering across different browsers.
