[html] Border around tr element doesn't show?

It seems like Chrome/Firefox do not render borders on tr, but it renders the border if the selector is table tr td.

How can I set a border on a tr ?

My try, which doesn't work:

_x000D_
_x000D_
table tr {_x000D_
  border: 1px solid black;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<table>_x000D_
  <tbody>_x000D_
    <tr>_x000D_
      <td>_x000D_
        Text_x000D_
      </td>_x000D_
    </tr>_x000D_
  </tbody>_x000D_
</table>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This is a similar question: Set border to table tr, works in everything except IE 6 & 7 , but it seems to work everywhere except for IE.

This question is related to html css html-table

The answer is


Add this to the stylesheet:

table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

JSFiddle.

The reason why it behaves this way is actually described pretty well in the specification:

There are two distinct models for setting borders on table cells in CSS. One is most suitable for so-called separated borders around individual cells, the other is suitable for borders that are continuous from one end of the table to the other.

... and later, for collapse setting:

In the collapsing border model, it is possible to specify borders that surround all or part of a cell, row, row group, column, and column group.
