HTML Table Borders
HTML tables can have borders of different styles and shapes.
How To Add a Border

Collapsed Table Borders

Style Table Borders
If you set a background color of each cell, and give the border a white color (the same as the document background), you get the impression of an invisible border:
Example
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid white;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
background-color: #96D4D4;
}
