# 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

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>
