<h2>border-collapse: separate</h2>
<p>When using "border-collapse: separate", the border-spacing property can be used to set the space between the cells:</p>
<table id="table1">
  <tr>
    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Peter</td>
    <td>Griffin</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Lois</td>
    <td>Griffin</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<h2>border-collapse: collapse</h2>

<table id="table2">
  <tr>
    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th>
  </tr>
