Table frame Property
Table Object
Definition and Usage
The frame property sets or returns which outer-borders (of a table) that should be displayed.
Syntax
Set the frame property:
tableObject.frame="void|above|below|hsides|vsides|lhs|rhs|box|border"
Return the frame property:
tableObject.frame
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| void | The outside borders are not shown. This is default |
| above | The top outside border is shown |
| below | The bottom outside border is shown |
| hsides | The top and bottom outside borders are shown |
| vsides | The left and right outside borders are shown |
| lhs | The left outside border is shown |
| rhs | The right outside border is shown |
| box | The outside borders are shown on all four sides |
| border | The outside borders are shown on all four sides |
Browser Support
The frame property is supported in all major browsers.
Note: IE9 displays this property correctly. Earlier versions of IE displays the borders on the cells within the table too (instead of on only the outside borders).
Example
Example
Set two different outer-borders of a table:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function above()
{
document.getElementById('myTable').frame="above";
}
function below()
{
document.getElementById('myTable').frame="below";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
<td>cell 1</td>
<td>cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>cell 3</td>
<td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="above()">Show above frames</button>
<button type="button" onclick="below()">Show below frames</button>
</body>
</html>
<head>
<script>
function above()
{
document.getElementById('myTable').frame="above";
}
function below()
{
document.getElementById('myTable').frame="below";
}
</script>
</head>

<table id="myTable" border="1">
