## Definition and Usage

The borderCollapse property sets or returns whether the table border should be collapsed into a single border or not.

## Syntax

Set the borderCollapse property:

Object.style.borderCollapse="separate|collapse|inherit"

Return the borderCollapse property:

Object.style.borderCollapse

Value | Description
--- | ---
separate | Separate borders are drawn for all table cell elements. This is default
collapse | Borders are not drawn between table cell elements

<script>
function displayResult()
{
document.getElementById("myTable").style.borderCollapse="collapse";

<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
<th>Month</th>
