HTML – Table Styling
You have the flexibility to manage the space between table borders by manipulating the ‘border-collapse’ property. This property determines how adjacent table cell borders interact, and adjusting it allows you to control the spacing or gap between the borders within your table.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: rgba(150, 212, 212, 0.4);
}
th:nth-child(even),td:nth-child(even) {
background-color: rgba(150, 212, 212, 0.4);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Striped Table</h2>
<p>For zebra-striped tables, use the nth-child() selector and add a background-color to all even (or odd) table rows:</p>
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>MON</th>
<th>TUE</th>
<th>WED</th>
<th>THU</th>
<th>FRI</th>
<th>SAT</th>
<th>SUN</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>

How to adjust table layout in HTML?
Inline styles also let you control your table’s layout, including its width, spacing, and padding. The border-collapse property is especially useful for deciding if table borders are separated or merged into a single border.
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 20px;">Cell 1</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 20px;">Cell 2</td>
</tr>
