=== Borders ===
'''''Note:''' [[Wikipedia:HTML 5#Table attributes]]. CSS to replace obsolete attributes for borders, padding, spacing, etc.''

Add a border around a table using the CSS property <code>border: ''thickness style color'';</code>, for example <code>border:3px dashed red</code>. This example uses a solid (non-dashed) gray border that is one pixel wide:

<div class="box" style="max-width:25em;">
'''Wikitext'''
<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>
{| style="border-spacing: 2px; border: 1px solid darkgray;"
! style="width: 140px;" | Left
! style="width: 150px;" | Center
! style="width: 130px;" | Right
|-
| [[File:Starred.svg |120px| center]]
| [[File:Star full.svg |120px| center]]
| [[File:Stargreen.svg |120px| center]]
|- style="text-align: center;"
|Red star || Orange star || Green star
|}
</syntaxhighlight></div>

<div class="box">
'''Produces'''
{| style="border-spacing: 2px; border: 1px solid darkgray;"
! style="width: 140px;" | Left
! style="width: 150px;" | Center
! style="width: 130px;" | Right
|-
| [[File:Starred.svg |120px| center]]
| [[File:Star full.svg |120px| center]]
| [[File:Stargreen.svg |120px| center]]
|- style="text-align: center;"
|Red star || Orange star || Green star
|}
</div>
Note the bottom-row texts are centered by <code>style="text-align: center;"</code> to match the centering of the stars in their cells.

As long as the <code>File:</code> specs omit the parameter <code>|thumb</code> they don't show the caption lines in the table (only during mouse-over). The border color <code>darkgray</code> matches typical tables or infoboxes in articles; however, it could be any color name (as in <code>style="border: 1px solid darkgreen;"</code>) or use a [[Hex triplet|hex-color]] (such as: <code>#DDCCBB</code>).
