Examples
Collapsing table borders
Use the border-collapse utility to combine adjacent cell borders into a single border when possible:
| State | City |
|---|---|
| Indiana | Indianapolis |
| Ohio | Columbus |
| Michigan | Detroit |
<table class="border-collapse border border-gray-400 ..."> <thead> <tr> <th class="border border-gray-300 ...">State</th> <th class="border border-gray-300 ...">City</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Indiana</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Indianapolis</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Ohio</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Columbus</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Michigan</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Detroit</td> </tr> </tbody></table>Note that this includes collapsing borders on the top-level <table> tag.
Separating table borders
Use the border-separate utility to force each cell to display its own separate borders:
| State | City |
|---|---|
| Indiana | Indianapolis |
| Ohio | Columbus |
| Michigan | Detroit |
<table class="border-separate border border-gray-400 ..."> <thead> <tr> <th class="border border-gray-300 ...">State</th> <th class="border border-gray-300 ...">City</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Indiana</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Indianapolis</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Ohio</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Columbus</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Michigan</td> <td class="border border-gray-300 ...">Detroit</td> </tr> </tbody></table>Responsive design
Prefix a border-collapse utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<table class="border-collapse md:border-separate ..."> <!-- ... --></table>Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
