CSS border-collapse

The CSS border-collapse property is used when we need to collapse the table border into a single border. For example:

HTML with CSS Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      table, td{border: 1px solid;}
      table#two {border-collapse: collapse;}
   </style>
</head>
<body>

   <h2>Table without border-collapse</h2>
   <table id="one">
      <tr>
         <td>table data 1</td>
         <td>table data 2</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>table data 3</td>
         <td>table data 4</td>
      </tr>
   </table>

   <h2>Table with border-collapse</h2>
   <table id="two">
      <tr>
         <td>table data 1</td>
         <td>table data 2</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>table data 3</td>
         <td>table data 4</td>
      </tr>
   </table>

</body>
</html>
Output
